Living with Melanoma: July 2006
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Friday, July 21, 2006. Birth, death and everything in between. The story thus far, or where it all began. That was the last moment I was ever going to feel happy again. I sat there and felt myself crumple. I started to cry. I looked at my baby and realised that there was a good chance I wasn't going to see him grow up. What about my kids?

Living with Melanoma: December 2006
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Sunday, December 31, 2006. The bonfire of my vanity. From something other than cancer that is. to be honest, it felt good being feverish and blowing my nose and coughing and knowing that I didn't have to worry about any of it being melanoma related. I'm sorry, but when you're the worst looking person in Walmart, you know you're in trouble.

Living with Melanoma: January 2007
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Friday, January 19, 2007. A Leap Of Faith. It's yours, take it. Leap like a lunatic over the chasm below. Your true self awaits you, NOW you will know. His nurse was even friendlier than usual towards me when I got there, which, having been here in this place of scanxiety before, made me wonder if they had bad news for me. Then he wheeled h...

Living with Melanoma: September 2006
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Friday, September 22, 2006. I've met the funniest people recently. I guess it's just like anywhere else. People are people, you know? I'm not being mean, just sharing that thought. Maybe I'm one of them. Heh. Do I walk around acting like I'm sick? Because for me, still feeling like myself was what got me through. It was the same with th...

Living with Melanoma: August 2006
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Tuesday, August 29, 2006. The only job where you start at the top is digging a hole. Treatment #2 down and feeling good. I saw one of the doctors, a really lovely lady who had all the time in the world for me. They're rooting for me. It feels good. Posted by Heather at 7:26 PM. Well actually it doesn't smell at all. You can't see radiat...

http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Thursday, November 30, 2006. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Okay, so I was thinking. This blog is published on a couple of other websites and some people who read it are probably wondering "what in tarnation has all of this twaddle got to do with melanoma? Well, the name of this blog is. So, seven more days.

Living with Melanoma: October 2006
http://livingwithmelanoma.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Someone asked me, after my diagnosis with Melanoma, "What is your prognosis? I told them, "It's still the same as yours, I'm going to die one day too." But not today! Wednesday, October 11, 2006. Okay, so nobody ever said this wasn't going to suck. Last week I had what seemed like a stomach flu. But it's hanging on. And on. And on. And having melanoma, when we don't feel well, we get a little. antsy. Apparently I'm not in a good place right now. I'll drag myself out of it tomorrow and make those calls, I...
