    I don't come here much anymore, but for about 9 years, I was here every day.   I'm (still) raising 3 grandgirlies, and my mom has been here a while, too!  

    I don't come here much anymore, but for about 9 years, I was here every day.   I'm (still) raising 3 grandgirlies, and my mom has been here a while, too!  

    My original surgery was in Oct–diagnosed on my 39th birthday.  The surgery I had 11 years ago still showed melanoma, so my NED date is today!  I am so blessed that I found this place, which was then called Melanoma Patients Information Page.   The information and support from here is incredible, and I'm blessed to have been able to meet many people, in real life and online, from this bulletin board!  Sadly, many are now angels.  But many more, from 11 years ago and beyond, to today, are not only still alive, but thriving!!  (Hey old-timers, give a shout-out!!) As NIcky said below (and is also celebrating 11 yrs. NED today), there is ALWAYS HOPE!!

    I love you all and wish you and yours the most wonderful Christmas of all!  And Happy New Year!!!!!

      Hi BarbieGirl 🙂

       

      I remember you as a regular poster when I first found this board too – sometime around 2006 I think.  I'm still here (although also intermittently) and am glad to see you posting.    I just celebrated my 10 year NEDiversary last month so your milestone is the next one on my target list 😉  Glad you are still here and having a lovely life – and, even though it means you (and I) are on the board less, glad that you (and many of us) are out here just living our lives and enjoying the time we have 🙂

      Congrats on your 11 years and here's to 11 more 🙂

      Congrats. Your Nediversary is always a special occasion for me. It is always on my birthday, but it is even more special because you were the first to reach out to me when I was dx. And I kind of sought you out based on patnet because I was looking for another long term survivor at my stage. And you were so kind to send me your last cd. You've been a great inspiration to me and I am so happy for your celebration today. I hope we both have many many more December 10th celebrations.
