Bio

Initially diagnosed in Aug. 2009 with Melanoma In-Situ. After my entire right side started going numb in October 2010, I received a double craniotomy on January 12, 2011. Stage IV Melanoma was confirmed after surgery. I received CyberKnife Radiosurgery for a third brain tumor that couldn’t be removed surgically. I began Temodar on Feb. 19, 2011 for six weeks.
