Thank you Susan for your kindness and for your prayers!
I saw my Surgeon on Thursday which proved to be a very long day!
Due to the issues he observed and the seriousness of the way my face mouth and lips are appearing and the fact I am not recovering as well as hoped for he put in a referral to another specialist, (a Dermatologist) He said he needs a second opinion to be sure he hasn’t missed anything.
He said due to me not bouncing back from the last surgeries and treatment he can’t start any further treatment until the 9 months are completed to allow the body to recover. That brings me to March. I will use the previous ointments and creams on face and lips.
He will monitor me monthly in person and by online while I wait to be seen by next specialist for 2nd opinion! I see Neurologist this coming month and begin the other treatment in March
with Pathology at Cancer clinic regarding the jaw face and mouth.
Thank you for your prayers these next 2.5 months as I recover. Trusting God my body will respond so I can get on with all the treatment I need so I am totally restored to God’s Glory! ✝️🙏😇1 -
I can see the wisdom in getting a second opinion from a dermatologist and I do pray that there is not a long weight for you. I continue to cry out to God for a miracle that your body will be healed.0

Hello Team
I am leaving early morning for Surgeon’s appointment and will likely know what next step will be in my treatment schedule. I also am at Cancer Clinic on Friday.
Trusting my tests will be all good. The melanoma has spread on face and am trusting no metastases of the disease in the body.
The frustrating part is with Melanoma and it’s continued spread this has required injections and surgery which to date has been 5 surgeries in all.
The cancer and surgeries has caused damage to the mouth palate and jaw which has caused the massive weight loss.
However I know this body will bounce back and I will walk in victory! God is Good and He will carry me the rest of the way just as He has so far. Praise God for His Goodness.
Thank you for your prayers my dear friends.You all are so appreciated! Will keep you updated after these appointments and let you know what next step will be as soon as I know. 🙏🤗❤️1 -
Thank you for the update, Judith. Your faith is going to get you through whatever is ahead. The Lord bless you and keep you strong. 🙏💕1

I pray that you will remain strong in faith as well as body during this difficult time. I have found that having a medical background can be a good thing to understand things but Satan can use it to cause more concerns of the "what if". I am praying that Satan will not have any hold on your emotions and in the name of Jesus he will flee from you. 🥰1

Thank you Susan and Linda. So appreciate your friendship and many prayers.
It has been a trying day and much for me to digest. I am tired too so won’t spend to much time here as another big appointment tomorrow at Cancer Clinic.
I will bring a full update after I put my head around the two appointments so I can focus on God and let Him have control over my life.
God Bless your evening, sleep well my friends. ❤️🤗🙏😴

Here is my updated report I told you I would bring to you.
I saw my Surgeon on Thursday March 9th. After my consult he said further surgery was needed with starting the injection treatments following the surgery, he said both would be done in the OR while I was still under anesthetic.
I then saw my Melanoma Oncologist on Friday March 10th. After he finished examining my face and lips he agreed with Surgeon that more surgery was needed. He couldn’t do a scan as he usually does each visit I have due to my face and lips still reacting to the graphs and the flaps from last surgery; he said he wouldn’t be able to get a proper reading.
He gave me a prescription to use along with last one. He said with my face being opened again and with not yet recovered from the last two surgeries the scans may not be able to be done for another 6 months or more to get a clear reading.
I came home with a Pre-op package to fill out all the forms for my next surgery. I take the completed package back when I see my Surgeon in 4 weeks.
At that time he will discuss the procedures with moving forward in this next step. He will also send me for Blood work and a ECG at the Lab at the hospital I see my Surgeon at. I then will be put on a waiting list, hopefully it won’t be a long wait.
In the meantime all I can do is keep trusting God for my miracle! One thing for sure I know my God is Faithful! ✝️
Thank you for your prayers and valued friendship and support! You are so loved! 🙏❤️0 -
Glad you have a date for the next review, Judith. Praying the new medication will help. The Lord has you. 🙏💕0

Thank you Susan
Please know I am praying for Colin as he is Day 1 Post-op from his surgery. Trusting he is being given good pain control and is recovering well.
I am praying for your wrist regarding upcoming physiotherapy. Hope you do well in this treatment approach.
Appreciate your prayers. I am at the hospital tomorrow to see my Surgeon regarding discussion of my next surgery and injection treatments. Hoping I am given a time frame for the wait times for the OR and a bed. I have some Blood tests and surgeon will order the ECG and Echocardiogram tests. They are required before I go into surgery. This will be number 6 surgery. Trusting God for complete healing!
Will keep you posted and please keep us all updated on how Colin is doing and you with your physio! Love and Prayer, 🙏❤️🤗0 -
Hi Judith. Thank you for your advance prayers for Colin. His surgery is happening next week (Tues 12th April AEST). My physio won't start for a couple of weeks.
I am praying for you with your upcoming surgery.1 -
Thank you Susan, appreciate the update and your prayers.
It was a difficult appointment, I am on wait list and had Lab work done, Surgeon has basically sent me back to Cancer Clinic for follow up until my surgery is done. They called me this afternoon and I see Dental Oncology on Tuesday May 2nd
After that my appointments will be set up with Pathology for my mouth and jaw.
I am supposed to hear from VGH Booking line in 2 weeks regarding estimated time of surgery.
Surgeon said today it could be 2 months or more today.
All I can do is pray and leave it with God! 🙏✝️1 -
Thank you for the update, Judith. I guess the infection and cancer is slowing down the surgeon,'s plans. I am so sorry this is happening to you, but God knows all about it. You are such an encouragement, showing your trust and faith in Him.

Praying that Colin can come home soon and that therapy will be helpful. It may take a while until his muscles learn a new way of working.1

Susan, I continue to keep Colin in prayer. Read earlier in our Chat forum you were waiting on a call to see if Colin was coming home today. With the time zones, it might be Friday where you are now so hoping Colin did come home yesterday. Keep us posted, you both are in our prayers! ❤️0

Judith, Colin did come home yesterday, with a chest cold. He is not to lift anything for 6 weeks and have rehab for 6 months. We're organising antibiotics for him. Praying he won't get pneumonia...1

Thank you Susan for letting me know, so glad Colin came home but so sorry about the chest cold. Trusting the antibiotics will take care of that and trusting no pneumonia or for any other complication. Praying for his rehab that he will have full range of motion and his shoulder be completely healed to the Glory of God!
Sending you my love and big hugs! 🥰❤️🤗0 -
Thank you, Judith. Today we have antibiotics. His shoulder is feeling good but his chest is so sore from coughing/surgical bruising. Maybe he will begin to feel better in coming days.1

Susan thanks for the update, I am so sorry Colin is having a rough go with all the coughing and a sore chest but glad you have antibiotics for him to take. Trusting the infection will clear quickly. So glad his shoulder is doing so good! My prayers continue! ❤️🙏0

All seems to be going in the right direction, lovely friends. Colin is coughing less, has started eating again and his surgeon is very pleased with his shoulder healing. Thank you so much for praying.2
