Update on Leslie

It's been a while since I've even been on this forum, let alone post, so I thought I'd post an update.  For those who may not remember, my wife Leslie was diagnosed with melanoma (ended up being 3b) on her left thigh, with the sentinal lymph node testing positive in Feb of '14.  After three surgeries, the last being a complete lymph node dissection of the left groin area done at Duke Cancer Center in April '14, she's doing well.  None of the additional nodes removed tested positive.  She had CT scans done in September '14, and last week, at Duke.  Both were clear, with no evidence of melanoma.  There is a lesion on her liver that caused a little concern back in September, but it was determined to be benign after a closer MRI of the area.  The docs said it is likely caused by hormones in birth control pills and is very common, nothing to be concerned about.  That lesion was unchanged in last weeks scan.  We will be heading to Duke every 6 months for further scans for at least the next four years.  I'm guessing that this means 1 year NED.
