      Every year on the anniversary of my first diagnosis I revisit this site where I used to scan all messages looking for posts that gave me hope. So I write this esp. for newbies  to remind people there are many of us who no longer visit this website.  My  daughter was 9 when I was diagnosed with my first melanoma (stage  2b) I was diagnosed w my second primary 2 yrs later. My daughter is now a young woman of 23. I hope my message might help give some comfort to others.
