Hi All.
I'm new to this group and want to share my story.
I was diagnosed with stage 3 melenoma end of January this year.
I had 3 lumps that needed surgery. One on my hip, buttock and one inside my pelvis.
I had surgery March this year to remove the lumps.
In July the cancer returned and the lump on my hip is now currently growing.
I have received immunotherapy to which the side effects were awful as a I had dual.
I ended up in hospital for two weeks on a TPN drip as I wasn't eating and constantly vomiting and other end.
I got through this with two lots of IV medication that I thought was working but still had the terrible stomach and bowel problems so was then again in hospital.
I was put in an amazing drug to cure this which I'm not on now.
I'm currently waiting to receive radiotherapy on the growing lump.
At the moment I have rash on my leg. Possibly Shingles or Cellulitis.
Just feel so fed up as I haven't worked since march.And feel like a black cloud over me permanently that is battling through so many hoops. I just don't feel like me.
I'm usually a busy person.
I'm 47 and a Mum of two teenagers.
Does anyone else feel like this?
