      I live in Fishersville and go to Dr Craig Slingluff at UVA.  He specializes in MM and he is wonderful.  His staff is helpful and supportive and you will think you are his only patient.  I'm sure there are other good Dr's, but I feel so blessed to have him on my side. 

      Good luck.  Whoever you go to…find someone who specializes in MM.  You are lucky to be in VA, because the care here is good.   

      I will keep you in my prayers.  Please keep us informed about your treatment.  This is a well informed, supportive group with so much concern and help available.  Good luck.  BethA in Va   (diagnosed in 1993, NED for 10 !/2 yrs, and now Stage 3B and NED again for 4+ yrs)
