Ten years ago today, I had the right upper lobe of my lung removed three days after having radiation to a brain met, all due to melanoma, diagnosed at Stage IIIb seven years prior.
Today, I share these photos and my story, hoping that they provide some small joy, some spark of hope, a message of beauty and love, to those that are hurting. You are stronger than you think. And for all the pain and suffering – there is beauty ~ still.http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2020/04/across-ten-aprils.html
Much love to each of you. les

Hi Les,Words don’t really do justice to how highly we (myself and the entire community) hold you in esteem. You know I love my data, but i think it simply is impossible to calculate the “Les” effect on the melanoma community and patients that battle this disease. Your advanced advocacy, knowledgebase, committment (both time and information), information sharing, guidance are just overwhelming. We love you for it all. You remain my personal hero, rock on.
Sorry, I’ve not been able to check the forum much these past few months, needless to say that it’s been busy in the pulmonary clinical research realm….
