      So they have now determined I have Soft Tissue Melanoma, i have to go back to get more tissue removed from where the tumor came out of me, then radiation and chemo. I have nothing on my skin that showed up in the PET scan, and doctors looked over me a few times. I dont know much about soft tissue melanoma, anyone else have this crap?

      Yea you told me pretty much what I gathered by google! Fuckit we’re all going to die anyhow. At least I got the fire under my ass now to live life for the things that matter. Its really all I been doing since all this started. I’m waiting for a call for my next surgery to remove more tissue from the tumor area that was under my arm. It was huge. Like baseball huge! Deep under my arm it grew that way in about 6 months. I feel amazing right now health wise. Its hard to believe that there is anything at all wrong with me. My doctor was saying I’ve been kind of a hot topic the last few weeks cause it so rare, but there general consensus was that they are going to remove more tissue from where the tumor was removed, then they are going to start me on radiation and then interferon. is it pointless to go through all that? I just turned 30 years old and I’m in good overall health! Everything but some rare crazy killer cancer I guess!

      It was on the side of my chest under my arm. So aputating my arm probably wouldnt matter…
