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.

    I've noticed that a few people who had the same diagnosis as my daughter…stage 3 – unknown primary, who have been NED for several years have exercised daily and kept in good shape. I wonder if the exercise is what kept my daughter NED for all these years. The following article about melanoma and exercise is interesting. It seems like it might be worth reading.
