I have a story for you. I was diagnosed with melanoma in 1970, I was 21 years of age. My first cousin died one year prior to my diagnosis of melanoma. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and underwent extensive surgery which required a large graft on my right arm and the removal of over 30 lymph nodes which were clear by the way. Well the next five years or so I was the routine patient, and them I decided to have a child. At that time they believed that the hormonal changes during pregnancy could cause it to come back but after thoughtfull consideration and a 5 year window between diagnosis I had my first daughter, 7 yrs. later a second. All this time I was a melanoma advocate and survivor. Then in 2003 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the same time I had a second melanoma in-situ on my chest in an area of radiation so I thought. Well, in 2004 I found out that not only was the melanoma in-situ on my chest not a melanoma but reather a severely dysplastic nevus (which did have the potential to turn) but the one back in 1970 was reversed to be a spitz nevus (benign). Yes, they still had the slides. You can imagine the emotional roller coaster I was on. In 2007 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. So I understand what you say about living each day. Life gives us some crazy twists. For so many years I lived as a cancer patient and when I found out I did not have that cancer I had already been diagnosed with BC. So, you can say I have been living with it for over 30 years. I'm happy to hear that you are a true melanoma survivor. Again, best to you.
