      Hi, wanting to offer hope to anyone new to melanoma. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 3, 6+ years after primary was removed. 1 year ago it progressed to Stage 4. I am now 8 months after last surgery with no evidence of disease. Just in time for Christmas! So thankful, and wanting to give encouragement to whomever needs it. ❤
