      Hi all,

      Hi all,

      Some of you may remember MonicaD (from New Brunswick) posting in 2010 when she was diagnosed at Stage IIIb and had undergone a lymphadenectomy.  She did a month of interferon, another surgery, radiation, and zelboraf since that time.  She lost her battle two days ago after fighting with all she had.  She had amazing energy and a tireless spirit, but as we all know, melanoma does not discriminate, and the only solace I can find is that during her time on this earth, she made the world a much better place and deeply touched everyone who knew her.  I hope that some of you were able to get to know her as I did, for she was an amazing woman, one who will always have a place in my heart.

      Fight on.

              I always feel so very sad to read of another warrior losing their battle with melanoma. She was so young, and I truly wish her family peace and healing during this difficult time. God Bless you, Monica. Valerie (Phil’s wife)
