        This verifies one of the things my current oncologist said to me during my initial consultation.  I think he's a very good doctor and was trying to be supportive…but, I've not forgotten him saying:  "If you're going to get Melanoma, this is a very good time to get it." 

        Obviously I have very mixed feelings about how he presented his optimism to me!…but, whatever!  hmmmm.
