    The surgeon told me today that both the lmyph node and the area that had previously shown melanoma (both on and near my neck) came back free of any signs of cancer. *Pausing for another sigh of relief*

    He said they either got it all with the first exicision taken for biopsy or there was so little left that my body took care of it while healing that area. Either way, it wasn't found in these samples. Of course, he cautioned me that the only took the lymph node that showed the most radioactivity and that doesn't guarantee it hasn't gone to a different one, but the odds are in my favor that I am currently without this cancer at the moment. I'm going with that!!

    My oncologist, dermatologist, and internest will continue to work with me on monitoring for any changes or anything new. As a fair-skinned and freckled woman with over 50 years of southern California sun damage done to her skin, that will keep us all busy. 

    I'll be around. I've made friends I'd like to keep up on!
