    I hope this post will bring some hope to those who have been diagnosed with metastic melanoma.  This is about my daughter, who was diagnosed with stage 3C melanoma, ten years ago.  She had radiation treatment for 5 weeks, but was unable to tolerate the interferon treatments, so she has had no treatments for the last ten years.  She has been NED all this time, jogs five miles a day and looks like the picture of health.  If you want to see her story, see her profile under the name of Jompy, diagnosed Dec/03.
