LEARN THE ABCDEF'S OF MELANOMA!!! EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!

  • ASYMMETRY: Does half of the mole look different from the other half?
  • BORDER: Is the border of the mole irregular or ill defined?
  • COLOR: Is the color uneven or has it changed over time?
  • DIAMETER: Is the mole larger than a pencil eraser?
  • ELEVATION: Has the surface of the mole changed? If it was smooth and flat before, is it now elevated ?
  • FEELING: Has the sensation around the mole changed? Does it itch? Is it painful?
  • PLEASE DO A SKIN EXAM EVERY MONTH AND WATCH FOR THESE SIGNS.

Prayers-keep sending them to Houston!! ;)

Prayers are working so keep them coming please! Marcus had 4th dose @10am and so far no chills/rigors this time!!! He is sleeping now and i just know that God has His hands around Marcus. There is no other explanation-all the prayer he is receiving is getting him through this with the least amount of side effects and I am so grateful. Thank you Lord!!!

His calcium was a little low on last labs, so they gave him some calcium via IV-but this is normal.  He is doing so well and I am so proud of him-so proud to be his wife!!!  Next dose around 6-6:30pm-so keep praying prayer warriors!  We love u all and we are so very grateful to have u all with us in this fight!!!!


His second and third doses seem to have been he worst so far-horrible chills/rigors about 2 hours after he received IL-2. But he went through this with interferon-and without any meds (he refused-never wanted to take anything)-but this time since he is in the ICU they give him meds immediatley when symptoms occur-has really helped him. I am just praying those rough side effects stay behind us and he gets through the rest easily!! Love u all!!
