My last post of the night; I just wanted to update on everything to do with the progress of my skin cancer. Recently I’ve had a few people asking me how things are going.

My MRI came back clean and things are looking ever more stable. My next Apt is March 29th. It still remains a bad prognosis at a stage where guidelines say no treatment, like Immunotherapy should be given.The only real thing I’m dealing with is a kick down in my immune system, It has been a winter where I have been hit by a few major viral bugs, personally I know dealing with day to day life sometimes drains my energy.

Living the life of an international superstar (ok nine-five web designer, who can’t type but who has cracking musical tastes) doesn’t leave me with enough me time, I do get me time, like going to gigs and doing stuff at weekends, but my view on a career isn’t what it used to be. Success should be measured on how much your family love you, how many records you have that no-one has heard of, how many great memories you have, but certainly not how much money you earn, how many late nights you work (unless it really matters and motivation isn’t financial). It’s a different ball game on this side of the net, time is priceless and can never be brought back.

Moles can do grow into your skin, unseen over many years even decades while you are young, and that’s a vital message that could get this cancer detected early but it goes unheard in favour of sunscreen. yay for prevention, it’s all good but the sun is only half, no actually a quarter of the story of Malignant Melanoma and at the end of the day the real cause of this cancer could be ignorance on the part of medical priorities and even at risk people, so things will change and I’ll be there telling people why moleAware makes sense.
