Courtney competed her 1 year of treatment on June 5, 2012. She is doing very well and will continue to go to St. Jude every 3 months for check-ups. We go back July 8th for her 6 month scans. Those always make me nervous, but I do feel she will continue to be cancer free. I feel very positive even though she is no longer taking her medicine.
Courtney inspired me to make cancer bracelets and sell them. I have sold a couple and made them for family members, but I am also opening a store to sell them online. I can also make all occasion and customized bracelets.
Our store is located at:
www.hopescancerbracelets.com
I will be donating at least 10% of every bracelet purchased when our store opens to a cancer charity, melanoma organization, or St. Jude. I will also donate to the charity of your choice.
Hope's Bracelet Boutique will open in the fall/winter 2012.
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!
