          Happyfeet! Whats going on sis! Hope yer well and living life!!?? Thats a great question Happy, is our immune system more knowledgeable now that weve programmed it to notice & kill off cancer cells like never before? Will our immune system still fight off other illnesses other then cancer a little bit better? Or is our immune system Exhausted from such a battle with Melanoma? Great question, are their studies anyone?
