              Dr. Russell is indeed amazing.  She performed a very complicated surgery on my business partner for rectal mucosal melanoma and saved her life.  Sadly, she left D-F not long after Terry's surgery, in 2014.  She left no information about where she was going, she simply vanished.  We were told she would not be coming back to surgery.

              Coincidentally I just heard today from another cancer list that she died of cancer herself recently but I haven't been able to find any independent confirmation of that and there is nothing on the Dana Farber website. I'm hoping that's not true, and haven't been able to find anything about an obit for her so I'm not sure.

                    There is an excellent private support group on Facebook for mucosal melanoma warriors and caregivers.  A bunch of us there are sharing information and support.

                          Sorry for the late response to this, I'm just now seeing it for some reason. How are you doing? My business partner was also diagnosed with rectal mucosal melanoma late last year, had a full APR and is now in a clinical trial.

                                Hi Cathy,

                                I just found this message string, somehow missed it when it was posted initially. How are you doing now? FYI I have a close friend who is being treated for anorectal mucosal at Dana Farber (surgery and now a clinical trial) – she was diagnosed not long before you so you guys are at similar points in the journey.  Hope things are stable or stabiizing for you!
