      Her lymph node biopsy came back negative!!!  I know we aren't totally out of the woods, but I am feeling so much more hopeful for her and her life.  Now to get some sleep!!

      The pathology report for her lymph node biopsy came back negative!!!  To say we are relieved is the understatement of my life.  I know it doesn't mean she is out of the woods, but we are feeling so very much more hopeful.  Sigh.

      Thank you so much Tim!  I have sent you an email separately.  I have had litle luck finding pediactric melanoma support groups or information, so connecting with others would be fantastic.

      In answer to your question re: T1b.  It was the mitotic rate: equal to 1. The tumor itself had a breslow depth of .47 mm.  Clark level III .  Brisk tumor infiltrating lympocyte was present.   It was in the center of her back so the lymph drained to both sides.  nodes removed from each armpit (1 on one side, and 3 on the other).

      thank you for your response.  Yes, I have been giving her curcumin orally for the last few weeks (mixed in smoothies or yogurt).  I am purchasing the more pure I can find available.  I have a family member whose mother was a long time researcher or turmeric in India.  The Curcumin C3 Reduct is even more bio-available, and as an added bonus it is white not yellow!! Everything in my house was getting stained with the yellow curcumin/turmric.
