Welcome to the Yeti Project. I am creating this blog to support the father of my children and my husband, Cleve. Early 2007, Cleve had a malignant melanoma on the back of his right shoulder. Shortly after being diagnosed, it was removed along with a lymph node. He has been in remission for the last four years. Unfortunately the cancer has returned, and although it is still very early in the diagnostic process, we are 99% sure it is a recurrent melanoma. Cleve has found a lump under his right axilla (armpit). Last week he had a CT scan that showed that the mass is approximately 5x7cm. Cleve will be having an MRI and a PET scan this next week so we can stage the cancer and develop a plan of action. We are hoping for a stage III cancer, however, even with a stage III we are in for a long bumpy road this coming year. Prayers, good energy, and loving thoughts are welcomed and encouraged. In return I will keep the posts coming and maybe include a few more pics with permission from cleve.
