      Thought I would post another hopeful message… scans yesterday came back clear again and I continue to be NED just about 2.5 years following a bowel resection in Jan 2014 where the melanoma had spread to my small intestine. Aside from that last surgery, I have not required any treatment but it is good to know that there are many more options available now than when I started this journey. I have been on the melanoma roller coaster for over 5 years now and that stage 4 diagnosis brings with it some anxiety and dark thoughts… but my message to those going through the same thing is to stay hopeful. NED could be one surgery or treatment away.

                      Excellent results, Kevin!  Congratulations!  Thanks for sharing.  Glad you've been able to avoid the drugs so far.  Gives them more time to perfect them for you ;).  Though hopefully, you'll never need them!
