I wasnt sure how to post this on the Melanoma forum so thoughi would try a Blog. As you can see from my profile had a mole removed from my ankle two years ago, groin dissection etc. I was all clear at my checkup in January and all was fine until I had a fit on Sunday. Was rushed to A and E where they thought I had suffered a stroke. After endless tests I was discharged and told to go back to the Royal Marsden where they told me the cancer had spread to my brain and liver with lesions all over my body under the skin. I was fine until they brought in the palliative care team!!!! I have to have radio therapy next week which will hopefully restore the feeling in my left side (I am left handed) and stop any further damage to my brain.
They told me surgery wasn't an option.
Life is bloody unfair isn't it?
