My Husbands scans show that the turmor is GONE! We thank the Lord for answered prayers. What he is dealing with now is not being able to make his own steriod after being on steriods on and off during treatment. He is taking 15MG Hydrocortisone hoping his own steriods will kick in. He is getting along ok just not the strength and energy he would like to have. We now see an Endocrinologist who is helping him deal with not making steroid.

We are so thankful to many of you who post to this sight it has helped us along the way to understand Melanoma and the many treatments. We pray you too will have complete healing! Sharon
