Wednesday 6th May 

In shadows cast by silent fears 
A tale unfolds dispelling tears 
It's Melanoma's ominous trace 
In CT scans a hopeful grace 

No Metastatic evidence found 
Normal echoes all around 
Colonoscopy results in too 
Polyps removed all's good, thank you 

Ten years in the clinical trial 
Grateful heart evokes a small smile 
Quietly high-fiving the uneasy unseen 
A dance with hope where fears have been 

No jinx is cast just caution's thread 
Vigilance lingers where worries tread 
Safe sun care an eternal oath 
Copious sunscreen prevents cancer growth 

Malignant Melanoma a sneaky beast 
The worry's still there but there's hope at least 
A healthy lifestyle common sense in the sun 
Enjoying this life the battle's near won 

Melanoma Awareness 

Ten years in a clinical trial, researching the adjuvant treatment of metastatic malignant melanoma, looking at survival rates and side effects.
The Combi-Ad Trial, combining Dabrafenib and Trametinib, reducing occurrence by as much as 50%, now approved by NICE and the NHS.
