    Hi Everyone!

    I'm not sure if anybody remember me……

    I have been doing very well for close to 9 yrs now and still cancer free!

    I can't beleive that I have survived for almost 9 yrs and looking forward to 10 years anniversary next year as melanoma survivor.

        Hi Paul,

        Congrats on 9 years of NED. It would be helpful for board readers to see your profile if you would be so kindly as to fill in that section…..it helps for others to see your initial diagnosis and then the treatments, things you did, and how it is that you are now NED. It is helpful for people to see the different options people have and do and what is successful.

        You also said you were diagnosed stage 3b and level 3….not sure what level 3 means in regards to your statement of your stage. Perhaps you are talking Clark's level, of your initial diagnosis?? Anyways, clarification of that would also be good.

        I am hoping you have many years of being NED!!

      I sure remember you – congratulations Paul!  Over 9 years is wonderful and 10 years will be a HUGE milestone!  Glad to know you've been away from us because you're out enjoying your life.  This will give hope to a lot of people going through hard times right now – I'm glad you posted.
