After a harrowing battle with melanoma, a mom is getting the word out about the dangers of unprotected sun exposure.
After a devastating cancer diagnosis, a mom is speaking out and sharing her journey through updates on Facebook. Her photos don’t sugarcoat the process of her treatment, and it’s their shocking nature that she hopes will help others be more cautious.
To chronicle her treatment, Greenway started keeping a “melanoma photo diary” on Facebook that included frequent photo updates on the condition of her face. She says the purpose of the photo updates is twofold — to help her work through the experience of going from a healthy, young mom to a cancer survivor, and to let her healing process serve as a warning to others who like to bake in the sun.Greenway’s cancer journey began in late 2014 when she noticed the odd liver spot above her eyebrow had also grown a mole — and was starting to ache.
To stop any remaining melanoma cells from spreading, Greenway underwent immunotherapy infusions and radiation to the head and neck area, a procedure that caused burning in her mouth and altered how her food tasted. The entire ordeal has obviously been no walk in the park, but her motivation for getting better is her family. “For me, it’s worth it to go through this year of suffering for another 50 or 60 years of watching my children grow up and being present for my kids and my husband.
