katies brain surgery,29 year old with stage 4 melanoma. started as a mole on her arm in 2006. two years later,in 2008, just two weeks after she has her second baby, there was a lump in her armpit the size of a pingpong ball. She had lymph nodes removed from her armpit, two weeks later had to have the same surgery. Finding out that the previous surgery was done wrong and left cancer lymph nodes in her armpit. One clinic trial later, travailing 300+ miles away from home and her children, it spread to the lungs with two tumors in the right lung. After, having the surgery and the hardest recovery of 3 months, she finally felt she was over the biggest hurdel of all.....but not so, just 4 months later, the cancer spread again. 4 weeks before Christmas, she was sent to the ER with horrible headaches, finding another tumor in her brain. Couple days later she was thrown into another surgery,not knowing if she would wake up being the same person she was before....recovery was easy compared to the others...went home the very next morning with headaches and feeeling great! But again the cancer haunting her, two weeks later had another surgery to remove an ovary. This tumor was 8cm, causing her to look as if she was 4 months pregnant. It was pushing so much on my other organs causing pain and discomfort. Recovery was okay, couldnt sit up by myself, they had cut through her belly button. Made it home in time for Christmas though, was so happy to be with family!! Scans done in January ...
