      Lisa – By far (far far far) – The MPIP family helped us so much during those days.  We will both always remember the love and support that you and everyone here provided.  I remember the sad the posts but for some reason, the positive ones stick out (and, LOL, some of the Darkside ones as well).   Smiling – I remember this one member who was so fixated on Flax seed.  Then there was Faith (whom I miss by the way).

      Darcy recently started a Sun Safety page on Facebook (oops, I forget the name but if you search for me or Darcy Dumaine you'll find it).

      I will definitely give her your best –

      Always in my thoughts and prayers,

      Hey Janner!  I (we) certainly remember you – your clear analysis of the medical techie reports.  Thank you!

      It's a amazing, the numbers were so terrible at IIIc – while on the outside we had hope, inside we kept thinking the worst.

      Here were are many years later – healthy and best friends.

      All the best,

      No, she did INF for a year.   LOL, but Charlie S rings a bell.   (Did you ever post on the Darkside?  Is there still even a MPIP darkside?)

      Thank you!  I remember always wondering whatever happened to "so-in-so".   I promised I'd check in and let folks know people do survive MEL.  Even stage IIIc.  The prognosis rates, in reality are 0 or 100%.  We lived so long thinking, 27% chance of survival sucks. 

      Good luck, good living Boot
