How is your treatment going. Hope all is well.

Which medications made you sick? What are you taking now? I’m Braf mutatation like you and am one week on tafinlar/mekinist, no side effects so far. How are you doing?

Good Morning! We hope you're doing well today! First, thanks for being with us and spreading the word about melanoma, too many people think that "it's just skin cancer". And second, I can give you a little larger platform to share your story on if you would like. I feature one of our members once or twice a month in an article on our blog. We reach around a million people a week with our website and all of our social media.

If you would like to be my feature this coming week, I would like to have you write out your story, just like you would be telling it to someone in person. Cover these things as you write, kind of like you would be answering someone's questions.
How did you find you had a problem?
What was life before melanoma, and how does it compare now?
What was/is your doctors plan of treatment for you?
How much treatment, surgeries, etc. have you been through?
What has been some of the lowest/hardest parts so far?
What are some things that have been positive?
What is your current prognosis?
What is your long term plan for treatment, if it's going to be maintenance?

And lastly, how did you find WhatNext, and how do you feel it helps you to be here?

If you want to do this for me, just type it up in a word doc and email it to me at greg @ WhatNext . com and I will put it together and share it on our blog page and all of our social media outlets.

Also, it's great to have some pictures before, during and after treatments, but I know you're still in treatment, so any would be good. You can include just you, or with family, whatever you like.

Let me know what you think and if you're interested. This being melanoma awareness month it would be a good time for this.

Thanks,
Greg

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the database to find someone like themselves.
