      Had my appointment with my oncologist this afternoon and the results were that the disease is stable with no new growth. Unfortunately what was still there currently remains but its wonderful knowing that it isn’t growing.

      NED status currently eludes me but I’ll take this for now knowing that a year ago I was freaking out over my diagnosis of stage 4 melanoma. Good luck to every single warrior on this board. I had a friend have to transfer to hospice and is fading quick but his body while not on any drugs is continuing to fight back. It’s quite remarkable and just wish his family the best in their time of need.
