      For My Sister

        Hi Kelli, my sister was a patient of Dr. Whitman at Morristown Hospital in N. J.   He is a melanoma specialist and also worked at the NIH.  He is a wonderful doctor and has excellent assistants as well.  I would recommend him in a heartbeat.  I would NOT recommend Dr. Menart (not sure of spelling) out of Robert Wood in New Brunswick.  Her office was run by the Keystone Cops and very unprofessional and haphazard.  I think my sister has filed a complaint against her.  But I do think you would do well by Dr. Whitman and his staff at Morristown.  Best of luck to you.

              Oh Lilly, I had just looked yesterday to see when the last time your dear Mom had posted.  I was so used to seeing her pretty, smiling face on here, but her last writings were starting to get scarey-she was getting sicker.  I thought about her so much during the last few weeks and hoped that she was just having a small setback and was on her way to getting better.  I am sorry to hear of your's and your family's loss today but certainly it is Heaven's gain.  I felt like I knew your mother like an old friend, even tho' we never spoke or met each other.  Her faith in God, her loving family, and the world, her sense of humor, her beauty, her strength….well, Lilly, I could go on and on.  And I knew ALL this from what I read on this site.  My beloved sister, Cheryl (MayEast) died in August, from melanoma.  I hope Cheryl & your Mom meet up and hang out on the other side.  I have a feeling that they would become fast friends!  But to you, my dear, I send my hearfelt sympathy and healing & positive energy & love.  You and your family will all get thru this.  With a mother like Tracey Lee, there is no way, that you won't.  God bless you and the newest angel named Tracey Lee.  Hug, Karen Walters-Van Hoose

                    Jeff's Mom, I live in Shorewood, by Plainfield, Il.  My sister has stage 4 melanoma in N. J.  (in fact, I am with her now) and she just started the E7080 trial.  I see Dr. Rhodes at Rush, who is the head of the Melanoma Surveillance Clinic.  In my search of the internet for information for my sister, I came across a doctor Block at the "Block" clinic in Chicago, who has had success with melanoma.  I've never heard of it before, but maybe take a look at that and see what that's about.  Good luck to your son.  I will keep him in my prayers.
