    CLEAR!!!   That means I'm now 5 weeks NED!  However, there is always a however, my onc is leary because the location is so close to the last recurrance, and that recurrance is just .5 inches from the one before that. They are still going to excise the lump entirely to be sure.  I'd rather proactive instead of reactive.

They are still going to excise the lump entirely to be sure.  I'd rather proactive instead of reactive. Radiation will start again once the lump is entirely excised.  They didn't excise the first time because we had decided since surgery had just been 4 weeks before that if it showed to be mel I was going to go systemic with a low tumor burden.

    So, until proved otherwise…. I was NED at my stage IV 5 year anniversary!!

      Heck, Linda, take a (small) victory lap.  You were NED at your five year Stage IV anniversary.  Period.  If more evidence comes up later, it doesn't change where you stand today.

      So excise the lump and keep moving forward.

      Hi Linda,

       

      Keep that positive attitude.  I agree that it's good to get it out of there even though the FNA results were clear of mel.  One day at a time.
