        Wow, Celeste you sure have been through so much. Thank you so much for keeping it real because we can learn so much from you. Since I’m a stage IV melanoma patient with vitiligo that’s good to know just in case something like that ever happens to me. I would have probably freaked out but now I know it doesn’t mean I have mucosal melanoma too. You help so many people with your blog and I want to say I really appreciate you and all the information you share with all of us. Take care – Heidi

              You are amazing. You are a rock to this community and everyone looks to you and loves hearing from you. I don’t know how many people know that you do answer individual messages as well with the same love and grace. Thanks for all you do!

                Well that really sucks. I’m really sorry. What a miserable and stressful experience. Which reminds me, I really need to get a mammogram.

                Thank you for sharing with us.

                        You are a warrior and whether with your own patients or we on this pirate ship, a healer. You educate, encourage and give all hope. Always positive thoughts and prayers your way and look forward to your next update! Just celebrated year 8 NED and have been inspired by your updates since joining.

                            Thanks for the support guys!! As I noted in John’s post above, knowledge is power. So is humor. If I can share both of those things on the chance that either may help any one of you – then it is more than worth it! Wishing you all my best. Celeste

                              You know how I tell if I’m reading from a great story/writer? If it makes me laugh or cry or do both at the same time. You my friend are a great writer. Thanks for sharing although I may never be able to see a lily in the same light again. 🙂
