      Hello there everyone!    I just wanted to be sure everyone the melanomanetwork.ca site discussion forum is up and running once again; especially if you are Canadian!    The ,forum had been down for some time due to some problems with spammers, but is now fully functioning and better than ever!     We are all very fortunate to have the MRF site among others availabel to us in our needing support; others to connect with as well as information ie.: treatments, trials, etc.!

      I am a Melanoma survivor; three years ago Feb. 15th since diagnosis.   The hardest part for me is knowing it could recur and that it's a watch  and wait and see; watching for symptoms of recurrence.    At this point I have bi-annual Derm appointments, Annual surgeon checkup and annual oncologist appointment, no further scans; unless symptoms present.

      I hope everyone is receiving the best of care and feeling they are in good hands.   Again if you wish to register with another discussion forum, the canadian site  https://www.melanomanetwork.ca is up and running once again and there is a moderator and as well there are many people who will be there to answer questions, or simply be there to support you as you begin your journey with melanoma.

      Take care all.

      Best Regards

      Cathy
