She is 37 years old with 3 children ages 14 , 9, and 1 yr old. She was diagnosed with stage 2 during a high risk pregnancy with her daughter. After the birth of her daughter it had developed into stage 3.After cutting the melanoma out and removing over 20 lymph nodes it was discovered the cancer was in 4 of them. We live daily with the fear of it returning somewhere else in her body. As a mother it is the scariest thing I have ever had to deal with concerning my baby girl. I pray everyday for a cure. This disease is horrible for the person with it and the families and friends and I don`t think most people understand the seriousness that the person could be facing. Thank you for your touching story and getting the word out ..God Bless you!!Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-57668968066207467382015-03-11T22:31:08.307-04:002015-03-11T22:31:08.307-04:00melanoma is mean....I lost my sister to it 2 1/2 y...melanoma is mean....I lost my sister to it 2 1/2 yrs ago...she fought hard for 6 yrs...began with skin cancer and like you said it was removed and was told she was okay...when it returned 4 yrs later it came with a vengeance in her spine eating completely thru before she realized what the pain was coming from...just thought she had a pulled muscle. She fought for 2 more years with some terrible treatments with no guarantee of good results. My prayer is for everyone who is going thru this now that they will find a cureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-69517950771083419882015-03-11T20:32:22.592-04:002015-03-11T20:32:22.592-04:00God's BlessingsGod's BlessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-58628054444499659682015-03-11T17:23:21.096-04:002015-03-11T17:23:21.096-04:00Thank you for putting words to the thoughts and fe...Thank you for putting words to the thoughts and feelings I experience daily.

I understand your guilty feelings, but remember, we all have our own journeys and we can't live other people's lives and they can't live ours. But, I know what you mean. I think we all feel like that sometimes.<br /><br />Are you on Facebook? If you are, please connect with me on Melanoma Prayer Center. You'll connect with other people of faith with melanoma. There's a thriving melanoma community, full of support, and I invite you to become part of it.<br /><br />May God bless you also.<br /><br />Grace and peace,<br />CarolCarol Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930711637707595995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-39136301771639703222012-11-15T17:28:57.592-05:002012-11-15T17:28:57.592-05:00A week ago, a dear friend told me that i should st...A week ago, a dear friend told me that i should step forward about the cancer, that i needed to be the same person i used to be. 17 months ago i was diagnosed with melanoma in a early stage, doctors remove 35 lymph nodes from my neck and lots of skin. As yours, my life totally changed... and not for bad.<br />I apreciate your words because they describe how the melanoma survivors feel.<br />I feel so blessed to be alive ando some times guilty for the same reason, the people keep dying and i am still alive and fine and closer to God and Closer to me.<br />I wish that in my country (México)we were as organized as the melanoma survivors are in other countries.<br /><br />Thank you deeply for your words.<br /><br />God bless you<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418874698226867819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-4909065735651550262012-11-01T22:16:59.565-04:002012-11-01T22:16:59.565-04:00Thank you, Carol.
