Maria’s journey

Friday 24th Apr
We are walking together in gratitude for everything the Royal Marsden has done for me, Duncan’s brother Bruce, Kevin and for other friends and relatives. 
I was diagnosed with stage 3 Malignant Melanoma in 2013 and after my first recurrence in 2016, was referred to the Royal Marsden for an Immunotherapy trial. I went onto to develop Stage 4 Metastatic melanoma in 2021 and received immunotherapy which led to a  remission of the disease by February 2022.  Now I’m 4 years in complete remission. I remember the first day I walked into the hospital filled with trepidation, but at every point was treated with kindness,  care and dignity. 
I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL
