      I have recently read that taking a break from Z might be a good thing. UCSF has done a study that suggests taking a break "tricks" the melanoma from finding ways "around it". Definitely discuss with your doctor, and DEFINITELY enjoy your vacation!!! Peace and blessings, Michelle

      Hi Susan, Thank you for your message. I do understand what you are saying. And we also felt close to Dad's doctors. We even hugged them at every visit and called them by their first names. Mom and Dad felt faith in them and yes, a closeness. I understand that doctors see a lot of death. That's a given, especially oncologists. And especially a doctor who works inside a retirement community such as my parents. So perhaps since they all didn't acknowledge Dad's passing it is coming from that difficult and maybe calloused place they have created in order to survive the saddness. I am forgiving them and letting it go. I hope my Mom can do the same. It's just not worth another minute.

      I am also on the MIF site and will check out the forums for family members that you mentioned.

      My heart and prayers are with you and your family, too. Thank you for your kindness, Susan.
