Six Years NED, stage 3C

    Today is the day 6 years ago I had a LND to the right axillary to remove the melanoma. It didn't come back. I am humbled in the presence of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that the small part I played being on a clinical trial with Ipi helped pave the way to serve others. Others certainly have been servants in my tiime of need. To celebrate the day our house is up for sale with our hope being to move to my wife's country, Costa Rica! God bless,

    Jim M.

      Congratulations, Jim. Great milestone. As another 3C-er, it is great to hear these stories. Good luck on the sale of the house and the potential move. Sounds great.

        Hi Jerry. Yeah, I haven't gotten out my town much except for traveling to Moffitt. Hopefully I'll keep in touch from Costa Rica. Glad to know you are here and so active on the board. God bless.

      So happy to hear that you are well, Jim.  Awhile back you had some kind words for me when my husband was battling the beast and I really appreciated them.  I also think of you every mango season and how you would gather mangoes from trees on vacant lots in this part of the world. ๐Ÿ™‚ Best wishes on your life in Costa Rica and may God continue to bless you and your family.
