      Hey Warriors! I wanted to share some good news with you all, I had another round of clear scans and ultrasound images as I accelerate into my 2nd year NED. Next scans in May although I was hoping for a longer span between them I am not complaining. Weird how scans now are more anxiety-provoking than when I was deep in the fight, maybe because being out of treatment makes you lose track of time since the battle that was fought and the concern that an ambush might be around the corner. I hope this finds you all fighting and winning. Stay in the fight and warrior on, this enemy can be beaten!

      Tex

            Congratulations Tex. Our story is similar, sorta. I’m in the early stages – just got NED after WLE and SNB. Left scalp melanoma. My lesion was 8.0mm, PT4A so no ulceration but I believe yours was ulcerated.

            Anyway I’m not jumping for joy yet as yours had spread within 6 months so I’m well aware of what might be ahead of me.

            Thank you for all of your updates and congratulations

                  I think the Texas motto needs to be said “Don’t Mess with Texas”! That is wonderful news Tex! So happy for you. I agree about the scanxiety being worse as you get farther out. It seems weird but it is almost like going back into the unknown!
