    Hello Everyone,

    Hello Everyone,

    I am a 23 year old from Canada who has been dealing melanoma for 3 months now. I stumbled upon the board in the first few days following my initial diagnosis and will admit, I was scared to death to start reading these posts. You can see by looking at my profile all of the details but currently I am at Stage IIIa. There is so much information out there on the internet that tends to be misleading and this is honestly one of the best forms/support groups that I have stumbled upon. There are many people on here who are knowledgeable in this disease and willing to give great advice. So thank you to everyone in this group 🙂 Although this is my first time posting… I have been following this group for a few months now.

    Anyway just thought id share my thoughts.

    Samuel

      Samuel,

         Sorry you have had to join us here, but welcome anyway. I think your observations are right – you can glean good information and excellent moral support from folks on this board, and there is much misleading or outdated or just plain wrong information on the internet.

         Feel free to let us know what you're researching – I'm sure others (and I, from time to time) will offer what info we have.

      Best of luck —
