What's this blog about?

I was diagnosed with melanoma in 2006 with recurrences at regular intervals ever since, including a metastasis to the brain in August 2012. I've run the usual gamut of treatment options, including surgery, interferon, radiation and most recently, ipilimumab. Through this blog, I consider what it means to live with cancer while sustaining faith in God's goodness and his plan for my life. Please join me in my exploration.
