    Just wanted to let everyone know my thoughts are with you. I have been off the page for quite a while. My health totally fell apart with a minor surgery on Oct 7, 08 leaving me bed ridden for a time, but things have improved and life is moving again. Just want to say I'm alive and say hi.

      Hi Stan! Pleased to make your acquaintance. I read your profile since I just came on board recently. Are you still stage 1?  Glad your health has improved and hope that trend continues.

      Here's to "staying alive!"

      Grace and peace,

        well Stan, I'm sure that since you are familar with this site, you're expecting to be told this:

        as a stage one patient, you are at higher risk for developing more melanoma than the general population. Two years is long enough to wait between dermatology visits.

        get yourself in!

         

        Nice to hear you are doing better
