My Melanoma Spread To My BRAIN! - Madison | Stage 4 Melanoma | The Patient Story

Madison initially dismissed the small lump on her left arm, mistaking it for a benign issue. It wasn't until after her wedding and honeymoon that she learned the truth—her diagnosis was metastatic melanoma. Despite initially being Stage 3A, her condition quickly escalated to Stage 4 when cancer spread to her brain and other areas.

In this cancer vlog, Madison recounts her treatment path, including surgery, immunotherapy, and the challenges of dealing with severe side effects like autoimmune hepatitis. She emphasizes the importance of advocating for your health, seeking multiple opinions, and trusting your instincts when something feels off.

Thank you, Madison, for sharing your story to help others.
