Bio

My name is Steven and I’m 25 years old. I have a fiance named Abby and a son named Oliver who is 18 months old. I live outside of Seattle and have for my whole life. My family has cancer in there blood like crazy. I had mole removed from chest in 2013 that was melanoma. Then I had surgery to remove more. I followed up with SCCA and my dermatologist for the next 2 and a half years. Just mole removals. No one evereally scanned my skin or
body. Then I had loss of vision in left eye and bad headaches
went to swedish hospital and had MRI of brain. They found 30+ tumors in my brain. Transfered me to another hospital and scanned body. Found tumors from head to toe. Did biopsy and found I’m positive for BRAF mutation. I’m a fighter. Always have been. Just want to talk to other people going through similar issues.
