Hi - I was diagnosed with Melanoma after having a small mole removed from my back almost 6 years ago. Everything was fine, I declined sentinel lymph node surgery but had wider excision. No cancer cells detected. Got on with my life. In September 2018, I discovered a small lump in my left breast, saw GP, hospital referral, mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy revealed it was my melanoma now spread to my breast. Scans showed no tumours anywhere else. The cancer grew quickly and due to time lapse awaiting MRI on breast prior to surgery - I was advised to start targeted therapy as I have the brav gene and surgery didn't take place.
Tumour shrank within a few days and I am continuing treatment. Emotions and anxiety levels are such a rollercoaster!
