Bio

Wife, mother, business owner. On Sept 20, 2016 I went in to have what my Dr. and I thought was a cyst on my back removed. It turned out to be a 3 inch…yes 3 inch…tumor that came back as Metastatic Melanoma of the Subcutaneous Tissue. This put me at Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma!! Luckily for me all my scans showed no sign of spread. I am currently doing the 4 doses of ipi to hopefully keep it from spreading. In the meantime I will just live my life and enjoy all the little things.
