      I know for most here, my news is very small potatoes, but I wanted to share, as I thought it would help those that are at a lower stage like me (Stage 1B) and worried about the future.  I was originally diagnosed in October of 2010.  Yesterday I went in for another 6 month checkup, and was given a NED and the ok to stretch my appts out to once a year.  A small victory, but one I am very grateful for.

       

      My thoughts and prayers go out to all that continue to battle this horrible disease, and for those families and friends of loved ones lost.

          No matter what stage you are with melanoma, NED is always amazing news.  From one lower stage person to another, I think that's just great!  Congratulations!

                                  That's great news. I'm also a lower stager, but long for the day when I only have to think about melanoma once a year instead of once every three months (because I've had three primaries, I'm going three monthly at present). All the best and hope to hear the same good news from you in 12 months time!
