Hey guys,

I haven't posted in a while but still wander around to see whats going on. Monday I received my second set of scans that showed no eveidence of active desease. They are saying active since my other possible nodule in lungs are still visible. They have never been confirmed melanoma or not.

After going to stage 4 two years ago I am very happy to hear anything other than "we need to watch…….." and going to 12 week scans is great.

It wasn't too scary to get results when your in the heat of battle, but to go in and maybe hear that it is active again was kinda scary. Like they were going to take my new toy away.

I know I am not even close to being out of the woods but its nice to slow down and enjoy the trees.

Have a wonderful holiday,

David
