      It’s back! While going for my 3 year cancer free check up I got bad news. I had been in the hospital for asmatic bronchitis for 5 days then had my appointment with my oncologist, he saw a raised lymph node in my left deltoid and nodules in my lungs. Wanted to do another lung biopsy, had one a year age and was nothing. Was thinking it was from my bronchitis. I said how about a pet scan, we did it and he said they saw something in my brain maybe and needed an MRI. Well they saw 2 tumors 1 was 4cm and 1 2cm in my brain, 2 days later I was at university of Miami for consultation and they wouldn’t let me leave! Surgery the next day. This has all happened so fast! Tuesday I get gamma knife radiation and then Immunotherapy.
      I originally had melanoma on my shoulder and in lymph node in my armpit. So I am stage 4 now so scared for the future.
