      It is easy to be a number with melanoma; the challenge is to be an individual..

      Because I was diagnosed 23 years ago with Stage III melanoma with an unknown primary and have been Stage IV since 1996 with now I think 8 recurrences, I just might be able to say to you that you ain't dead yet..

      You are a young man, as was I when first diagnosed.  I was at the top of my game knocking down pretty major bucks.

      All that did change except I decided to be me and not a cancer number.

      Yes, people do survive, but not all.  What you have to decide is which one you might like to be and make a plan.

      You might live and you might die, but YOU and not the numbers will have an impact.
