I'm 45 years old. and I feel as if I''ve been on this cancer journey for so long ( x2 melanoma (1 node) 11 years NED, radiation therapy), other skin cancers (squamous/basal (28 years) and on a check up today, another suspicious mole that the hospital want biopsied. I try to be upbeat but it just gives you a wakeup call to always be vigilent with this disease and to regularly get skin checkups even when you are this long NED. I love life and again whatever happens, I'm prepared for battle.

I believe in being positive and after losing many loved friends on this board, I have to keep fighting for their sake and for me and my family.
I still believe that if you can get this disease early enough you have a good chance of survival, be vigilent.
Thank you for being there all this time and for being the greatest support to me over all these years MPIP.
