Oh Jerry, how I remember our dear Amy.  What a beautiful thing you have done, by passing on Amy's info and keeping her spirit alive.  She is certainly smiling down on you today!!

I just logged in to check and see how some of the "old timers" were doing.  I'm so sad to hear of Nancy's passing, along with others who were so supportive on this board.  Hugs to her family.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss.  Prayers from New York Ken, to help you weather the storm.

Chances are they did not scan the brain.  When my husband was diagnosed at stage 3 he was told they would not scan the brain unless he had symptoms.  Most doctors assume that it will spread to the lungs/liver first, and given the cost of brain MRI's (which would have been done to detect the cancer) they only do that if there are symptoms.  We all know that melanoma doesn't play by the rules though 🙁  Sorry you have to go through this.
