      What an incredible story, John. Nearly 20 years without evidence of disease after stage IV melanoma with brain involvement is an extraordinary personal milestone. The part that stood out to me most was your skyscraper analogy.
      Wishing you many more “victory laps,” and congratulations on everything you’ve built beyond cancer.
