    I haven't been on the board in a long time, but a friend was recently diagnosed and so I wanted to do an update for hope.  My husband, Ken, is 9 years NED from stage 4 melanoma next month.  He continues to not just survive, but to thrive.  I won't go into treatment detail because all the treatments are different now than the bio-chemo he had at the time, but I just wanted to remind everyone that you can survive stage 4 – Ken proves that there is reason to hope!!

      Thank You for posting this……it is the kind of news we need to hear.

      I was diagnosed Stage IV in January and the cancer was moving fast.

      Started a Clinical Trial in Feb and other than a few side effects from the medications I feel great and better all the time. 

      I plan on being able to tell a similar story.

      Great news for you both.
