Bio

Grew up in Florida and Bahamas. Boating, snorkeling, fishing – always in the sun. I was just diagnosed with MUPS (Melanoma unknown primary site). I had a knot on the back of my neck removed, sent to path, ended up finding a lymph node and melanoma. So because of presence of a lymph node, my diagnosis is metastatic melanoma – stage 3B. After a clear PET, MRI and CT – I don’t have any other tumors. I started keytruda 4/26 and have a year of treatments (17 in total). 2 days after first treatment with little side effects. A little tired but not bad, but – only first treatment. Fingers crossed.
