      My husband Charles died yesterday morning, I was thinking he was having a bit more sleep it is hard to get to doctor's appointments.  I hate this disease, please say a prayer he is in a happier pain free place.

                    I'm so sorry to hear of this.  I lost my husband to melanoma almost 2 years ago and I want to encourage you that you will get through this, painful though it is.
