My reasons for writing are set out at the end of post 1 ('Human Nature'). In summary I write to:
1. Get it off my chest, organise my thoughts, rationalise what is happening to me.
2. Share my feelings but also information with my family and friends.
3. Raise awareness of melanoma and skin cancer prevention.
4. [Added in May 2015] Tell people who are diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma, and their loved ones, never to lose FAITH. Thanks to new treatments, this is not a death sentence anymore. We can win this.
Malignant melanoma is a cancer of the skin, your largest organ. Between the dermis (inner layer) and epidermis (outer layer) of your skin are cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes are the cells that become cancerous in malignant melanoma. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer because of the cells from which it originates (melanocytes), however it may then spread and metastasise just like any other type of deadly cancer. Malignant Melanoma can spread from the skin to virtually any other parts of your body, most often brain, lungs and liver.
Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, may be used to treat melanoma. In spite of dramatic advances in treatment - with new drugs released in the last 2-3 years showing encouraging results - sadly every year thousands of people die from melanoma.
The number of people getting melanoma is now more than 4 times higher than it was 30 years ago. Sadly, it is now one of the most common types of cancer in young people aged 15 to 34.
Note that I am not medically qualified in any way and the information contained herein is based purely on my understanding as a patient who has spoken at length to doctors and other patients and researched and read plenty about the topic. However please refer to appropriate sources for medical advice and visit your doctor or dermatologist at once, if you have any concerns.
Thanks for reading.
