    Hey guys,

    Hope you are all having as good a day as possible in your worlds.  Don't waste your time on this post if you are in a serious mood looking for real live melanoma answers.  However, if you want a little mental puzzle and break from that, while still learning about melanoma world, these may be for you!  I think neither of these reports are particularly useful in immediate outcomes for melanoma patients, but through them it may be affirming to:

    1.  Know that melanoma research of all sorts continues.

    2.  Weirdo's like myself search it out, review and post it.

    3.  And while I don't think happiness will cure our conditions, it never hurts to smile!!!

    For what it's worth:  https://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2018/08/research-that-makes-you-scratch-your.html

    Wishing you all my best!  C

      Hi Celeste,

      Just want to say thank you to you and to Ed for continuing to support us all, for helping us find the answers and for continuing to be committed to everyone fighting the melanoma fight.  You both do so much good.  You deserve a little thanks now and again.

      Good wishes to you both,

      Jennifer

      Well, I am not giving up on posting this funny little mouse photo, but for now technology is winning and I am losing! So if you close your eyes and just imagine a picture of a little mouse beside a mouse trap, now look below and there is another little mouse using the mouse trap as a home rowing machine getting exercise and eating the piece of cheese. I think that I am going to have to buy the app in order to be able to down load the GIF photo.

        Thanks, Jennifer.  You were sweet to say that.  I just think it takes a village.  As a team we are stronger together.  I know I have certainly found plenty of strength here.  Hang tough, ratties!!  love, c

        Hi Ed, can you do a screen capture and then post. Seems like it might work and you wouldnt have to get the app.

        I think you can post pics on my blog in a comment.  However, you can also reach me via email through MRF and send me a pic so that I could make a post about it at some point.  Yes, it would be nice to be able to post pics here, but I've never been able to do that.  I started my blog in 2010 when I advanced to Stage IV melanoma (had been Stage III for 7 years before that) at first as a way to keep family and friends up to date on what was going on as I had brain mets zapped, lung mets removed and started a Phase 1 Nivo (Opdivo) trial before it was FDA approved. Since then, it's been me writing about things that enter my crazy brain and lots of melanoma research with my best interpretation of what it really means for melanoma peeps.  Glad you liked it.  celeste

      Haha Celeste! Funny when I had to go on infliximab they sent me to a respiratory clinic to check on TB exposure. I had to take some pills for 9 months as I had possible exposure. Then they did a sleep clinic on me and I was officially needing a sepac machine!  However I declined and actually breathing better at night since I stopped having a glass of wine after work… and as far as happy I’ve always accepted whatever comes and felt fullfillled so that’s happiness isn’t it? I haven’t been on the forum for a while but think of you often. Thanks for everything! Anne-Louise
