      Hello to all the old timers. Allen Carr from here in MIami FL Checking in. IT has been over three years since I visited the MPIP. I have been doing fine. Last three or Four PET/CAT scans have been negative. Shaking hands with NED again. For you that don't know me I have been dealing with Melanoma since 1996 when a spot on my back started bleeding and biopsy showed it to be Melanoma.  IN 1999 it went into both lungs. Surgery for both a week apart. In 2002 it went inot my Pulmonary artery even after a year of interferon and 32 months of GM-CSF.

      Hello to all the old timers. Allen Carr from here in MIami FL Checking in. IT has been over three years since I visited the MPIP. I have been doing fine.

For you that don't know me I have been dealing with Melanoma since 1996 when a spot on my back started bleeding and biopsy showed it to be Melanoma.  IN 1999 it went into both lungs. Surgery for both a week apart. In 2002 it went inot my Pulmonary artery even after a year of interferon and 32 months of GM-CSF. God has been good to me and through of holistic medicine I am no longer a Stage IV  person but now NED. Just thought I would check in and thank again all the people that have helped me in the last 17+ years of deealing with this Insidious disease. I talked to Jeff Patterson the other day for a short talk. Keep in touch with Martie Wrock another loing time survivor. I miss the old BB people but not the agrevation that sometimes went on. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer but it is under control with the hormone therapy "Lupron" last PSA was 0.3

      Some of you people met my wife Carol in get togethers but I lost her to Brain Cancer last May. She is in a better place no Pain no more Chemo or surgery. I have her up in Lake Worth at the south FL National Cememtery and visit her often.

       

      My Pat Net is under Allen C and I believe my home phone number is listed. MY email is [email protected] if any one wants to get in touch with me. I turned 79 this month and feeling fine and willing to help anyone that wants to hear about my road to NED.

       

      May GOD Bless each and every one of you dealing with this disease and if there is anything I can do please email me and we can talk.
