Bio

Single mom, 40 years old. 1 child 9 years old. Stage 4 metastic melanoma in my lungs, liver, and lymph nodes. I had a mole removed in 2014 that was melanoma, clarks level IV. The physician did not order any further follow up. July of 2015 I started having abdominal pain and I went to the ER where I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. My treatment started with immunotherapy but it has not worked for me. I am now starting the chemo pill combo to see if the tumors respond. (12/15)
