Five Years Later… My Cancer Came Back as Stage 4! - Megan | Stage 4 Melanoma | The Patient Story

Megan was 28 when she noticed a new mole on her face near her neck. She was soon told it was melanoma and her world shifted as she faced surgery and life-long skin checks. Years later, back pain, flu-like symptoms, and a collapsed lung revealed the disease had spread.

In this cancer vlog, Megan shares her journey from the shock of her first diagnosis to the terrifying moment her tumor grew to 26cm and moved her heart. She speaks about multiple surgeries, targeted drug therapies, radiation, and the emotional weight of building a life while navigating treatment. With the support of her family, her care team, and an online community, she found strength and now helps others through her story.

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