      Hello Everyone,

      My best friend lost her battle today. 4 months after a stage IV diagnosis and a ten year battle with various forms of cancer. She died in her home, with her family around her & thank God for morphine, not in any pain.

      I salute all of you fighting this terrible disease. I will forever be a supporter of melanoma research & will do my part to help find a cure. I promise this to this wonderful woman so many people lost today & I promise this to all of you… Keep fighting, and for the ones we lost, may you all rest in peace.

      I love you Tam. You will forverer be in my heart and soul, the sound of your laughter will never fade.

      Love always,

      Manda

                I'm very sorry about your friend. She had a long journey with cancer, but I'm certain none of you were ready for her to go. I'm glad it was peaceful.

                      I read your updates about your best friend. She got some measure of relief for a few weeks or maybe a month, after getting WBR. That was after after many weeks of agony when cyber knife had failed. I'm sorry that it was just too much to overcome, and in such a short time. I'm certain she was so much more comforted to be at home at the end. R.I.P. / May she rest in peace.
