    Hi all,

    Hi all,

    Sorry I haven't been too good about staying in touch with everyone on this board but think of you and pray for all every day!  I've been living life!  Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary with NED!  Diagnosed with Stage IIA melanoma in September of 2002.  Had a high mitotic rate and other unfavorable factors, offered a clinical trial, but decided to just go with the "watch" plan.  Well, ten years later and I'm still here!  Wishing all of you well and hoping and praying that some day soon they will find a real cure for this beast.   Blessings to all, Jenner

      I read about the supplements you take and was wondering how you arrived at taking those versus others such as Turmeric, etc..?

        Curcumin and turmeric are the same thing. The names are used interchangeably.

        I had a dermatologist that was big on supplements.  The Curcumin Complex is mostly Turmeric.  I have stopped taking most of the supplements now though.  I was starting to have an overactive immune system which was causes other issues.  I only take multivitamins now.
