I am posting this update on behalf on Glassies; Della & Graeme.
Just spoke to Della, Her scan results are of absulute devastation to her & Graeme & their families, us included.
The Melanoma has returned again, this time in the upper tummy behinde the rib cage & measuring ten centermeters.
Her doctor doesent think a specialist will even attempt to remove due to location.
Della will revisit doctors in a week as they are thinking of more intense radiation.
I will keep every one updated on any developments that come forth.
Let us all pray for Della.

I have been down this track and diagnosed with secondary melanoma, which was removed surgically 6 years back and so far no re occurence.
My treatment has been at the RPA melanoma clinic in Sydney and in conjunction with Sydney University a lot of ongoing research is being performed.
I would recommend that you ask for a referal to one of these clinics in your capital city, as they are right on top of the latest research in the treatment of melanoma and new discoveries are being made all the time, 6 years ago there was only surgery and radiation treatment but there are now some new drugs for the treatment of some types of melanoma.
These clinics have some of the top doctors in the country, who are specialising in the treatment of melanoma
I understand how you must be feeling at this time, but I do hope there is an answer for you, as you seek teatment and that there will be a successfull outcome.
Cheers

Thank you Jim and Leonie for putting that post up for us, we have just gotten home , had a call from my brother Stephen and ive never heard him cry before hes older than me and he sobbed on the phone ,poor bugger made me lose the plot for a while, i promised him i would fight my hardest and its not over yet.
I am under the specialist treatment part of Melanoma at the P.A hospital in brisbane so there is not realy any more i can do ,we are going to be having massive doses of radiation to try to melt this down as its four inches already, i knew something was not right ,you know your own body and i kept saying to myself no this is not right.
I want to thank each and every one of you for being there for me with your prayers and thoughts we are fighters and this war is not over yet im a strong lady and i can do this once again so lets all keep up the good spirits ,yes ive cried and cried, but at the end of the day that is not going to take it away.
Graeme and i have spoken if anything happens to me that he will still do what we both planned to do so please if that does occur open up your heart to him hes going to need it ,he plans to travel on his own so make sure hes got plenty of meet ups HEY so hes kept busy ,but like i said its not over for a long shot yet we have too many plans.
love to you all and may we all meet up again soon.

Hi Della and Graeme,
I am a spiritual person but not in the christian sense and I will light a candle for positive energy to be sent your way Della. I am also positive that you both have everyone on this forum behind you, pushing you towards wellness, wishing and praying and sending positive energy and that will not stop. We have your back Della so be comforted in that knowledge.
Hugs

What do you have to do to get a break? It just seems so unfair! Your positive attitude is your strength. The BIG C is a scary notion, and because you've been through it before, you already know what you're in for. For Graeme to travel on "with" you could be the best way for him to deal with whatever happens. Let's hope you 2 get many more miles together. Ultimately when it's our time, it's our time, but moving on can be difficult for the survivors. You both have a great attitude and strength. Hang in there!

Graeme WHAT A WOMAN YOU HAVE GOT THERE, Her Courage, determination, and Love for her family and friends during this time, is Inspiring, I have not had the chance for a Meet-up as YET !! but I have followed and been effected from from the beginning of this drama, You two have put a smile on my face many times, and put my life back into perspective, when i might have been having a sh-t day and thought i had hassles, but as well as the smiles, you have also made me shed a tear or two also ?? None more than now, This is the first time i have ever written on the computor with tears clouding the screen,
Della I know you will keep fighting tooth and nail, because that is Who you are, I canot come up with any more words, to discribe how i feel, as my vocabulary skills are not of a great enough standard, to express what i wish to say, Just be fully aware that MINE AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM love and hopes are all behind you two every inch of the way.
I do not know if you have opened the Emails i sent you last night ??? but the one about Hugs, is what you need right now, And WE mean every word of it ?

I hope the melanoma isn't in any organs and the rads can stop the spread of the new lesion. Don't give up, you can do a lot of living and there are new drugs being found and trialed all the time.
