Battle Wound

3 weeks ago I had surgery to remove all the lymph nodes on the left side of my neck, 37 total due to stage 3c melanoma. I went back and forth on whether or not to share a picture of the aftermath but decided that people needed to see what Melanoma was capable of. This is not “just” skin cancer, this is cancer. This scar is 6 ½" long and something I will have to learn to embrace over time. My second journey with melanoma has only just begun and it is only through the continued support from my army of friends and family that I know I will come out on top, but not without a fight. 💜 #melanoma #stage3c #cancer #Melafuckinoma #myarmy
