In 2014, Lisa found a spot on her calf that turned out to be melanoma. She had lymph nodes removed at that time which came back negative for the cancer. In the end of February of 2018, she found a swollen lymph node that was immediately taken out and found to have melanoma. Much to every doctors surprise, the cancer had metastasized. A few weeks later on her 40th birthday, she had surgery to install a port for immunotherapy treatment to begin. Because of the nature of her melanoma, the doctors decided she needs the most aggressive treatment for the cancer. She had her first round of immunotherapy with 2 different drugs a month after the lymph node was removed. She will continue immunotherapy for at least the next year. There isn’t much data on this new therapy, but it so far it has the best results they have had against melanoma in years.
Lisa and her husband have 2 boys Owen, 13 and Drew, 11, and live an active lifestyle in Colorado. Despite this diagnosis, Lisa is optimistic and knows melanoma hasn’t met such a spunky and stubborn redhead who will smile, laugh, and fight through this battle. Thank you so much for supporting her in the fight of her life.

The Gary Courtney Cancer Foundation will be running several events to help Lisa fight melanoma. For each Fighting for Lisa bracelet you purchase - proceeds will go directly to Lisa and her family for medical bills and other needs as they arise. Each bracelet is $2.00. Shipping and handling will be covered by the Gary Courtney Cancer Foundation.
