Interview with melanoma warrior: Casey
Casey is from Arkansas, paints pixel art and glitch paintings and loves her chocolate labrador June. And she is also struggling with stage 4 melanoma.
Casey decided to capture the moment when she moved away from anesthesia and saw tubes sticking out of her body.
Now the girl is struggling with stage 4 melanoma, but not all treatment works as it should. Nevertheless, Casey does not give up, continues to create and draw, as well as enjoy life to the fullest.
We met Casey personally not so long ago, but her profile has been followed for a long time. All thanks to her unusual paintings in pixel art. Looking at her work, it seems that these are scenes from a computer game of the 70s and 80s.
Casey's story began in November 2020, when she showed a mole on her lower back at a dermatologist's appointment. The doctor did not notice anything suspicious in it and decided that it was seborrheic keratosis or "senile scab", which he recommended to remove for cosmetic purposes.
"They diagnosed it as what is called seborrheic keratosis, which is the common term for that is a senile wart and I was 30 years old at the time. So, I thought that's weird. I'm already getting senile warts and I just I trusted these doctors, even though it sounded a little weird".
