My melanoma treatment update. [View all]

All of my yelling, swearing, has worked. My surgeries are scheduled for next week. Talk about stress relief. One doctor's office and of course my insurance company, screwed up the process, that's fixed.

Right now the doctors believe I am at stage two, which is good news. They won't know for sure until after the surgeries. The doctor I talked to today today said even if it is stage 3 or 4, the new treatments are amazing.

So overall, good news. By the way, Fuck Trump.
