I was diagnosed in 2001 with Stage 2C melanoma (although some doctors said my case was Stage 3) and have made it 5 years! I encourage those of you who are fighting melanoma to take heart. I am getting married and would like to consider having children. My sister is a doctor and is worried that pregnancy could trigger the resurgence of the cancer. A doctor friend of hers who herself had Stage 1 melanoma was extremely concerned when she fell pregnant. I have looked on the internet for any advice/statistics on this to determine how much of a threat it could be but can't find anything too informative yet. If anyone has had advice from their doctors about this I would love to hear!
