    Hi all
    Been today for check up and results from scan. I am on antibiotics for a sinus issue but feeling more myself after a bad week. Treatment Monday as normal,did not seem concerned about my sinus isues.

    Had CT scan did not do head scan think they are doing head every 6 months instead of 3 months due to been clear for the last 2 years after Gamma knife. So body my lymph nodes was up in chest one at 2.4 other 10 millimeters when started treatment. First scan after 3 months reduced nodes by half. Second set of scans no mention of the small one but larger one reduced to 10 millemeters. He classed that node as normal. He said if he did not know I had melanoma the scan he would say is normal. My question was so could they be no cancer in nodes then. But could not say yes or no.

    Take that result for now, my birthday on mothers day so I will have a glass of wine.

    If this post shows more than once am sorry when submitting it said error so I kept trying it.

      So happy for you.

      You know, I really needed to read that. I'm sitting at home late at night with the first energy in months to be up this late and everyone in my house is asleep. Go figure how that works right. But I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself and thought I would log on here and feel a less alone I guess and your story was the first I clicked on. You know I've been fighting this beast for I guess you could say what's going on 9 years now but almost one full year at stage IV. I consider myself one tough son of a bitch but this fight has really been tough lately and I just want to not only cheer you on but thank you so much for reminding me so quickly why we do this and we are not alone and we are all fighting together and this thing can be beaten.

      So thank you for just one more time.

        Had many of them nights in bed on my own thinking what my life will be. Logging on to this forum to seek support advice and hope. There has been times hard to read post and cried tears, and cheers . This is horrible disease and a tough one. I myself have said many times I will fight and never stop. I have had and as many on here a tuff time over the years. My family and my pet Oscar who have given me hugs when needed them. I fight for myself and them . 

        Never give up and hope that new treatments or cure eventually will come. This forum is like one big family too me and when feeling down I can guareentee that these guys will pick me straight back up.

        wishing you all the best
