I'm Jamie and 34 years old, last year I went into remission, this was in September after having stage 3 melanoma, my oncologist saw my last CT scan results and was happy with it, nothing was there and also finished my treatment, I was happy when I though I was clear.
End of December and beginning of January I come down with alot of pain in my stomach and had alot of nausea and sickness, got rushed into hospital because the pain was around my appendix area, had a CT scan of the area, within an hour I had 2 oncologist Dr come to my ward and explain to me there is newly discovered lesions on my liver, spleen and adrenal gland and this happened within a few months, I was shocked, wasn't emotional, sort of had to stay strong as now iv got stage 4 melanoma, the plan of action was immunotherapy, had my first treatment on the 27th January, didn't go very well, I got an infection on my chest, which is cleared now then afterwards it hit my kidneys, so I'm currently on steroids but I'm currently being weaned off them as my kidney levels are coming down( creatine) so it's currently the 23rd February, just waiting to come off my steroids so I can start my second round, hopefully it goes well.
Is anyone else going through this similar situation?
