                Glad to hear the surgery went well. Orange sized tumors are pretty large – great to get those out of there. Sounds like they took care of some other smaller issues while they were in there so that is good too. Try not to get too depressed… melanoma seems like a twisted game of whack-a-mole sometimes. I know my mood shifts from good to bad and back again on occasion. I tore my Achilles about a month ago and had to delay a follow-up melanoma scan visit due to surgery – I was not too confident going into that appointment and I have to remind myself that worrying about it will not help. Hope the visit to MD Anderson goes well – will be curious to see what they recommend. Hang in there!

                      Josh – Sounds like you have your hands full. Good luck in the surgery on Friday… one step at a time.
