      my experience is, never beleive them when they tell you they got it all. Once you have a melanoma of any grade its now your time to be watchful to see where it will turn up next. I know you may not wish to heear that, but as I said, that is my experience. Its great that its not in yoour nodes, so now your job is to continue to monitor those node clusters nearest to your occurrence. When your doc says that sufficient time has passed now to stop the monitoring, I would request continuance. But the good news is there has never been a better time to have this disease, with so many options and treatments and great stories out there now.

      Thanks Ed I will check that out. It may be lessening by itself, we'll see (one slightly better night anyway).
