Melanoma 28 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648636144)

This book is a collection of real-life testimonials from people diagnosed with melanoma. The common link between each is the association with Jay Allen, a survivor of stage 3 melanoma, who accompanied the patients and families depicted within throughout their treatment journeys. Jay's story is the last in the book. He is also the founder of Australian Skin Cancer Foundation.

Through the words of the patients and their family members, these stories tell of the courage, generosity and endurance of people suffering adversity, and how we can achieve more together than apart. The book also highlights the importance of recent treatment breakthroughs and emphasises, from the patient's perspective, how much more needs to be done to improve early diagnosis, ensure the prompt initiation of appropriate treatments, and fund high quality research.
