Bio

My husband Ned is 79 and has been a very active individual all his life and continues to remain so despite the health challenges he faces. A lifetime spent working in the outdoors in construction and as a ski instructor may have contributed to his developing Melanoma although no primary skin lesion has been found, even though he religiously went to his dermatologist every 6 months. We are thankful that cutting edge treatments are available that were not just a few short years ago. We are cautiously optimistic that he may have a few more good years given the positive response at this time 5/24/2018.
