      I'm fortunately a stage 1a – spitz melanoma pt  but since I was diagnosed 4 months ago (which as a 33yrs old newly wed I never thought I had to deal with, at this stage/age of my life), I keep my reading updated about melanoma and also have asked my family this year to forego Christmas gifts for me and instead donate to Melanoma research. I used to get my Christmas gifts as donations to "The Smile Train" foundation, but this year I switched. I encourage everyone to try it, for me it makes my Christmas gifts so much more meaningful than let's say a tablet or a Sephora gift card 🙂 

      Article below is a good, albeit scary and sad, read for the latest stage IV immuno-therapies. 

      Always sending thoughts and positive energy to everyone on this board and beyond that is fighting melanoma.
