      Al, that's great news! I'm glad you consulted a melanoma specialist. I recall you mentioning being on Zelboraf a while ago and was surprised that your doctor at that time hadn't ordered more frequent scans for you. But that's all past history. What's important is that you're seeing a specialist and she had good news to give you.

      Now go out and celebrate! yes
