Purpose of this blog

My name is Cor and this is my story dealing with mucosal melanoma (MM) in my nose which was diagnosed on 10 Jan 2017. I am married and have 2 kids. I write and update this blog to reach out to all my loved ones far away with updates and my state of mind and also to share information with other patients.

Post-operation

The surgeon explained that all left sinuses were filled with tumor, pushing against the eye and punctured the brain fluid.

Just in time. He prayed and thanked Jesus that he could clean it up. My nose was pulled open to be able to reach it. Also he had to fracture the eyesocket to reach the upper sinus. A small plate is put in place.

The neuro surgeon said he lives Holland and visited me explaining how he is draining the fluid from the spine to prevent brain infection.

The anestesist came to say hi, thanking me for being such a kind patient to treat. He commended the surgeon cleanup job.

The special online hystopathology mobile lab helped check what he scraped was melanoma or healthy. That way he kept on scraping and stopped when he reached healthy tissue.

Now its up to my body to stop growing new melanoma. Healthy life style is key and regular checkup.
