Valerie's Story: Valerie shares how she beat her malignant melanoma

- Valerie knew she had a mole on her neck. What she didn't notice, however, was that the mole was getting bigger. Valerie went to her pediatrician who then recommended she visit a dermatologist. The dermatologist removed the mole and sent it off to be tested. When the results came back, Valerie and her mother were shocked: it was malignant melanoma. In other words, skin cancer. Valerie came to Nationwide Children's and went into surgery shortly thereafter. After surgery, the team of oncologists and surgeons were happy to report that Valerie was cancer free.

I have around 40 moles on my body. Some have discolouring, are darker and more than one colour and some are bumpy. I'm positive I have skin cancer and I'm planning on telling my mom today so she can get me a visit at the doctor.
AkaJust Vih How did you get on?
@@sophieheritage478 It turned out I didn't have skin cancer, thank God for tat, but instead it was said that it might just be my genetics and sun damage. They just very closely resembled malignant melanoma skin cancer moles.
AkaJust Vih Oh good, I’m pleased for you :)
@@sophieheritage478 Thank you :)
AkaJust Vih good for you

How early did you get it diagnosed
I have it in my back too can you please tell me how it went and did you have to go under general anestheia
stay strong. no one fights alone
Congrats Valerie, I am so thrilled for you xxxx
Thanks for sharing your story.. She's a warrior!
I'm proud of you and stay strong and I'm sending you my prayers if you see something on your body that doesn't look right go to the hospital asap and get it checked out.
So glad you were alright Valerie. :-)
Please keep your follow-up appointments to keep checking the lymph nodes even if they are clear and the mole and surgery are done. Sometimes, a few undetectable cells can travel first to the brain or lungs/ those closest lymph nodes, and you may feel swelling in the lymph nodes or extreme fatigue. If you start having falls, an aneurysm, slurred speech, headaches, or a cough that won't go away please know this is the path Melanoma can travel. If those cells are undetected or misdiagnosed as other conditions it can easily become stage IV. Radiation and Immunotherapy are usually the only treatments. Chemo isn't an option for those cells so preventative chemo usually isn't an option. It would have to be preventative Immunotherapy to teach your body to fight those cancer cells
Well done Valerie, you're a beautiful young woman, I hope the best for you! :)
i understand, i was 14 when i was diagnosed with the worst stage of melanoma. My 15 year old cousin and i had the same mole we called it our twin moles. well she went to a dr. and he said to get that tested, and it was cancer, and i got tested and i had cancer. but mine was worse cause it had spread, and it spread in to my blood stream. i was diagnosed 2 weeks late with i was diagnosed 2 weeks later with lukemia
HOW ARE YOU DOING NOW ??
ohhiya lee are you ok are you hurt? I have a black line on my nail but I don’t know what it is
@@tracydinh5221 i have a brown one
Chameleon1446 that’s melanoma! It’s the only one in the nails!
Lyka Cmch please go get this checked! Melanoma looks like a line your nail!
Sneaky cancer. Very scary 😢❤
This story didn’t really say how she beat it. They just removed it.
Its probably early stage thats why
Is she still alive?
Prayers 🙏🏾✝️
Glad she survived..it was probably early stage?
This is how the medical procedures should work. From diagnosis to surgery, days. Not weeks. Not months.
I’m 18 and I have two moles that i’m concerned about. One on my shoulder and one below the armpit area. These two moles have been around since a very young age but they never increased in size and are fairly small. However recently i remembered hearing somewhere that moles can be cancerous.
What concerns me is that I once had a strange experience with the one under my arm. I was able to scratch it off from how soft it was but it began to itch and grew back to its same small size. Not to say regrowth means it’s cancerous but it i don’t think it’s ready to be dismissed yet. Also the one on my shoulder has a poorly defined border and a few different shades of brown which brings me here doing research on melanoma and learning about these different skin cancers. It hasn’t increased in size but knowing i could be catching it at an early stage, I don’t want to take any risks or push my luck. I plan on expressing my concerns with my mother again so we could get it checked out once she gets back from recovery at the hospital which will be in a few days from now (she had surgery for something else)
I will update this after i get tested
Did you get test?
@@muhammadzain7006 Not yet we’re having some issues with money right now but i will be sure to update this when i do
