I thought there may have been a chance that the hospital would call us this weekend to finish registering Courtney, but they did not. I am sure they will contact us tomorrow so we can get her out to Memphis ASAP to get this cancer removed completely. I need to be more patient...
My daughter, Courtney, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma skin cancer stage 2 C on May 12, 2011, at 16 years old. Her tumor was 7 mm deep, ulcerated, invasive, and a high mitotic rate of 9. Courtney had 4 weeks of high dose Interferon, and 48 weeks of peginterferon alfa-2b. Courtney did very well on the interferon and completed her 1 year treatment. She will now return to St. Jude every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months until she is 26. She is doing great!
