Getting better | Me and Melanoma
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/getting-better
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. How do you know if you are getting better when you have something like brain tumours? You cant see it getting better like a scab on your knee! Shrinking having a party? I don’t know. Very frustrating. Then there are days when getting out of bed is so hard I hate it. But my son is shouting muuuuuuuuuuum lol so there’s my motivation to get up. Does that mean I’m not bette...Got a bone scan b...

Mrs Ayres | Me and Melanoma
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/author/aletheastory
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. So, recently lumps have appeared around my body, one on shoulder , two in right boob, one where my ribs are and one in my upper right bum cheek. The one above shoulder needed removing as it was growing so I am currently waiting for the results. They think its metastasis but we aren’t sure. So I can either have metastasis or not. here’s hoping not. Absolutely fed up but hopeful. I just want...

Me and Melanoma | My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain | Page 2
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/page/2
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. 3 down 6 to go. So I got my results today. Not much has changed yet as treatment takes a while to kick in however I only have SIX tumours now as opposed to 9. YAY. Charlie is still 2.4cms big and the brain swelling is still quite visible around it so I have to continue with cortisone for a while longer. The doctor said I must increase my chemo tablet dosage. My legs are still weak and its ...

Side effects and more | Me and Melanoma
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/side-effects-and-more
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. Side effects and more. So I’m getting super fed up now of all this disease. It’s so hard to keep patient and I’m starting to fly off the handle at the simplest of things. My hair is sprouting but it’s like a month for a tiny tiny bit of growth. I do hope it grows. The part where I didn’t have radiotherapy is growing so I have to keep shaving it as its on the lower back of my head. It’...

Life is too short | Me and Melanoma
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/life-is-too-short
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. Life is too short. My sister, me and friend. I’m upset cause a fellow melanoma fighter lost his fight with melanoma. He fought hard and was a true inspiration. I didn’t know him personally but its still hard to hear news like that. In the meantime its couch potato and the ocassional walk with my mum down the harbour to keep the cobwebs away lol. Hope you are well. Dont drink and chemo.

Dont drink and chemo | Me and Melanoma
https://aletheastory.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/dont-drink-and-chemo
My story on what happened after I was diagnosed with Malignant Metastatic Melanoma which has progressed to my brain. Dont drink and chemo. It was my birthday on the 22nd so I decided it was a good idea to go out and have some fun with my friends and husband. It was a good night and I allowed myself a few vodka’s and coke. I didnt get drunk and did quite a bit of dancing too! And I was the last one standing everyone else went home to bed. ha. Most of the week continued with me sleeping. Life is too short.
