      Just checking in with the community to provide hope in the New Year.  My husband Ken continues to be cancer free, will be 7 years NED from Stage IV this June!  Ken has been enjoying a normal cancerfree life with only a yearly chest xray and bloodwork as a reminder of his status.  You can have a lasting remission from stage IV melanoma – there is always hope! 

      All of Ken's info is in our profile, but as always feel free to email us with any questions or for support.

                                        Wow your story is very touching. Congratulations. My dad passed away with stage four melanoma bone cancer of spine a year and half ago. He was a very brave man up until the end. And i got my moles checked due to him having it…. It seems to be in our gene pool. and jan last year, i had a stage II melanoma (clarks stage ii ) removed from my back…. Thankyou to him, i discovered it… I am now so aware of this terrible disease and it is so nice to read success stories. You both must be very happy
