Taking Aim | Skye's Journey
https://skyesjourney.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/taking-aim
Well, we picked up Skye’s newest batch of Interferon shots at the pharmacy this week. Each new “refill” is for four weeks’ worth of shots (if they’re able to provide them to us all at once), and this was the next-to-last refill, so you know what that means. Skye will be done with her shots in less than two months! By my calculations, the last of the shots will run out at the end of March. How awesome is that? You can find all the details here — Aim At Melanoma. Please join us as we take aim at melanoma!

Archive for March, 2010. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since Skye’s treatments for melanoma started. While the old saying, “time flies when you’re having fun” certainly does not apply to this situation, the day that seemed like it would never arrive is now suddenly here. After last night’s shot, Skye’s only got four left. She’ll […]. I only have 3 Interferon shots left! I'm leaving for AZ in 3 days! Ready for some warm weather. Only 6 more weeks of shots left!

Verses | Skye's Journey
https://skyesjourney.wordpress.com/verses
Skye’s co-workers came up with the idea of giving her a gift for each of her 20 days of IV Interferon treatments. Along with each day’s gift, she also received a Scriptural passage meant to inspire her, each printed on a handmade tag. We thought it would be nice to share them with you each day. 1 Psalms 22:24 For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 7 Isaiah 43:1 But now, this is what the Lord says &...

How It Began | Skye's Journey
https://skyesjourney.wordpress.com/how-it-began
In January, Skye visited her dermatologist, Dr. Lucy Wisdom, to have a suspicious mole on the left side of her rib cage examined. Dr. Wisdom removed the mole that same day and had it tested. The test results indicated that it was melanoma. The most serious form of skin cancer. Dr. Wisdom referred Skye to Dr. Laura Randolph, plastic surgeon, and Dr. David Naour (pronounced NOW-er), general surgeon, as well as oncologist. To determine if the melanoma had metastasized (spread) to the nearby lymph nodes.
