    Rarely on, but since I am I wanted to continue my tradition of positng positive melanoma news.  My husband, Ken, is a stage 4 survivor and cancer free 8 years this June!!!  There is always hope and people do make it to the other side.  As always, feel free to contact me (wife Erica) for any reason.

      Well done you guys. Erica thankyou for posting your message these are needed so much on this site. Would you mind me asking if it is not too personal, but does your husband avoid the sun totally, or does he get his healthy amount for vitamin d. Thanking you.
