For many reasons when one of our own fall on challenging times, be it out fear or apprehension, it is easy to draw back and say nothing.
So, I want to say something.
YOU GO DIAN !
Yes, it sucketh from great heights that post IL2 your body imploded. Yes it sucks that your body had done so well in tolerance of the offense, but stuff happens and you know it. You have overcame more than this in the past which is why you are strong and will overcome, adapt and conquer the new challenges ahead

Your conjoined alter ego, Cigar Bob , has stood beside you and with you. The two of you are as one.
In a better day on this board, many of us physically met, in person, the people we posted to, and chatted with. To my delight, Dian and Bob were two of them.
I don't do facebook but I do MPIP and by golly Dian and Bob, know we are behind you.
Sooooooooooo, come on MPIP'ers, step up, pound your chest and shout to the skies two words…………..GO DIAN.
If we shout loud enough, she and Bob will hear us.
Oh yeah, be sure and post it too !
Keep going you two.
Cheers,
Charlie S

Ok this is not Dian, it is me Bob. This has been tough. She takes a step forward and drops back. So here's where we are as of this moment. A "spot" was located at the C-1 that could be a med so an MRI is this morning. It could be the cause of her headaches or the cause beothers. No other majopr problems in her recovery but she is in the hospital and not in rehab. due to a low heartbeat that was adjusted via medicines…..I'll try and post as I gather info, but the Onc. says a treatment of Rad. should due it for the C-1 problem if it is. Damm….first her lung then her brain and now her spine? ….People (Cath) tha thave my phone can callme or text . I'll try and post her as well as on facebook….

An update to Bob's post above. I talked to him on the phone today and Dian's MRI was clean as far as the spine goes. So that is a relief. It seems she is NED now, but of course dealing with the problems from the stroke. So, I'm hoping we see her back here posting before long!

Wos, the prices some melanoma patients need to pay to be able to say NED, are very hard ones. However, NED is great — Don, is that complete, or "just" her spine? Sounds like she has a lot of rehab ahead of her, so the best to her for getting out of the hospital and in a position to start considering any rehab needed.

Kyle — I probably shouldn't have said she was NED. I'm thinking there are no known mets at this time, but not 100% sure of that. She had SRS for a lung met and a brain tumor was removed surgically after her stroke. I don't know of any other mets, but I could be wrong. She went for another MRI today, so I'll see if we can get Bob to clarify her situation when those results are known.

So she had a craniotomy in the midst of all the other things. I did see something with her brain mentioned earlier, so that's what that was. That's obviously a lot to deal with all at one time. Fingers crossed that those treatments keep her NED so she can be free to deal with the other issues. Like Charlie says, go Dian!
