      Hi All

      I’ve been neglecting you all as I have been juggling all my doctors appointments with work and FUN!! Just had CT and still NED. Hope this gives some hope to those struggling as I was given 6 months in 2014. My joint problems are improving after using humira for 12 months and we are even going to try going off it and see what happens. You will always be my family and I will never forget all the help and support I got from this site! Anne-Louise

                  From a composer/conductor to a viola player (me to you!) beating melanoma is like being able to play (or conduct) the Rite of Spring by heart witout EVER missing a beat or a meter change, isn’t it? Anne-Louise, your 3 year NED aligns with mine although not from the same stage (4 for you and 2 for me) and although we’re heading towards fall here in Canada, you are headed towards spring in Australia and I woke up with a Clément Janequin SATB a capella piece I used to sing in my early years of learning called “Le chant des oiseaux “. You are that song! “Reveillez-vous, coeurs endormis, le Dieu d’amour vous sonne!” I wish I culd have meet with you back in 2017 when I was down under. Toutes mes félicitations!

                          Hi Jubes,

                          Thank you so much for your post. It’s almost 3 months since my husband was diagnosed with melanoma, and it’s finally sunk in that there is hope. I have this forum to thank for this and all the people like you who take the time and trouble to post both the bad and the good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

                          May you continue to be busy with work and FUN for many more decades…

When I was first diagnosed and stumbled upon this forum, I was heartened to see hopeful posts and new possibilities. I know how much peace it brought me, and I’m sure that your news will bring peace to others finding their way here. Cheers!
