People with Melanoma who blog

On my Big Bear group of links, I have a section with perspectives from people with melanoma. I only included web sites or blogs which included a history rather than journal type blogs. Although my blog is a journal, I linked the part of my blog where I summarize my story in the patient perspective section. I have decided that I want to have a list of all the bloggers with melanoma that I've gotten to know either on the MPIP, through their blogs, or in some cases in other ways. If anyone wants to be removed from this list, or their family members in the case of the dearly departed want a blog off my list, please let me know. I am compiling this in July of 2007 but dating it in June so it won't come up as a regular blog entry. Also, if anyone wants to be added please let me know. Latest update is October 2008 and I hope I've added everyone.

I'll start with the web sites and go from there:

Patients Perspectives (not in alphabetical order)

Miss Melanoma - Official Site

Other Bloggers with Melanoma (these are not in alphabetical order)

HollyG Tri and be Happy

Becky The Power of You

Hi Carver,

my blog is at

http://www.mymalignantmelanoma.com/seantyblog.html

Whilst I was collating a list of blogs for my new site, I used your as a starting point. Thanks for the assistance.

I noticed your blogroll has some dead links, and the status of some of the bloggers mentioned has changed.

You can see updated lists based on your at:

My blog began the day my husband was diagnosed. Our daughter was born less than 48 hours after my husband died. My blog begins with cancer and ends with LIFE. I continue to update it regularly.

Thanks Seanty for your comment and for visiting.

Dear Hollie, I went to your blog and am so sorry that your husband's life was cut short by melanoma. I didn't see a way to comment on your blog or I would have. Your daughter is so adorable. I know it must be so hard to have had her after your husband's passing. As ever, Carver

I have just been having a look at some of the posts on here - some very poignant stuff. I lost a very dear friend to this illness in May and I vowed then to try and make a difference by helping to fund raise for the Christie in Manchester. www.factor50.org.uk If I could make a difference to just one person, I'd be satisfied.

Hi Carver,

I found your site through MPIP. I LOVE your site. I'm dealing with melanoma too. I haven't been officially staged yet...have PET tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your list. I can't wait to dive in. I started my blog when my husband was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic melanoma. That was in January 2009, and the DTIC chemo is working. My husband's doctor is the reknowned Dr. Evan Hersh at the Arizona Cancer Center. My blog is a life blog--Steve's life with cancer, our 5 kids in this blended family, my journey through a doctoral program, and anything else that I think is funny. It is funny. It has to be. My 17 year old son named the blog www.melanomasuxballz@blogspot.com

Thanks, Cheryl

Hi Carver: Thanks for organizing all this info on melanoma. It's a good resource. I've been writing essays about my life with melanoma. They can be found at www.theogler.blogspot.com. Best, Peter.

Sun protection is important, especially when you have fair skin like i do. I found this color changing bracelet by SolarActive that changes color in the sun when the UV rays hit it. This is one of the ways i stay sun aware and sun safe. The bracelet seems to change colors faster or slower depending on how much UV the sun is emitting that day.
They have color change tshirts and color changing beads as well. I got it at the SolarActive website here: http://www.solaractiveintl.com I always recommend my friends to get products like these since they really help to be sun aware. Thanks for the blog and keep up the good work I love reading! You are so inspirational! :)
