      Good Morning Everyone, 

       

      Good Morning Everyone, 

       

      I wanted to share the news since I love coming on myself and reading about  peoples good scan news. My twin sister was diagnosed Sept 09 while 5 months pregnant with stage 3b melanoma. She had scans Monday and got the news yesterday that everything was fine! She does however need to have her thyroid taken out, interferon did a number on it but no signs of cancer. Just wanted to share my news!!  Although I don't come on as much as I did when she was first diagnosed and going through interferon I want to be able to check in and let people know because when I first joined I would search for stage 3 stories. So now if someone else searches hopefully this will give someone hope like it has given me.

          Just wanted to say thanks for posting her story. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3b about 6 months ago and is not trying to decide if he should do interferon or not. He had a 3mm w/ulceration as well. Also having one pos lymph node w/micro.  Hearing that your sister has been NED for so long gives me hope that this doesn't have to take over our whole lives. I say so long because for us right now 3 years seems like a lifetime away when your dealing with something like this. Thanks so much agian for the story. I really needed that 2day!!
