        Hi Monica.  I was diagnosed with a tumour in my lymph node in 2006 and then one in my lung in 2007.  I know what you are feeling.  I also found it hard to find a success story.  The fear was consuming.  I sit here now, 3 years free  from melanoma.  I am happy and strong and life is great.  My children are almost 8 and 10 and we have spent the last few months travelling, swimming and hiking.  I wish you all the best.
