    this month.  Stage IIC on top of head with satellites.  Given odds of less than 25% for 5 year survival because of its depth and closeness to vascular system.  Breathing easier thesse days.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all for positive outcomes

      Great news!  Think of how many advancements they've made in melanoma since your original diagnosis, but still with so much more advancement needed.

      Hope you can continue being cancer free.

      In the past seven days I have learned of four people who died of melanoma.  I cannot tell you how much I needed to read your good news, just to remember that many, many people beat this beast.  Thank you for sharing your great story.  It gives hope to everyone in the fight.

      Bill — you are one of the great warrior stories on mpip. Congratulations! I've also noticed over the years that you have been a great contributor to the mpip community, so I suggest you stick around for another 14, with options to renew.
