      Velma Krumm my wife of 44 years died of melanoma. I want to thank all the people from MRF who post and read this site. I received advice several times on this site that was vital to my wife,s care ( thanks nykaren) . All who post and answer perform a vital service to all.  My wife and I were very fortunate to have a doctor in Boone, No who after removing her tumor and telling us she had stage four cancer to go to a melanoma specialist for treatment. We did that and in am sure because of her care at the university of Michigan she live a lot longer than initially thought.  So for all who read this please make sure you are seeing a melanoma specialist it could extend your life or pro idea cure. I know without a doubt Velma is in heaven and now NED.  All who post , read and answer keep up the good work.
