        To all who responded… much gratitude – appreciation and heartfelt insight. Thank you for easing my fears and for allowing me to believe that there is more future for me. All of you are heroes, supportive friends that give me comfort in a much needed time in my life where nothing is making too much sense. Waiting for the green light for surgery… will keep you posted.

                Hello everybody , I am Bob, very lucky husband of  " loving wife Deb ". Diagnosed on June 15th, surgery July 22nd and reality bell rang on August 13th, ( my mortality ).

                Deb found your web site a few weeks back and has been sharing stories with me ever since. I am overwhelmed by the courage and power of hope the people of this bullitin board posess. Since I have had some people send me stories from this discussion board of encouragement and support and I feel truely blessed.

                We are on a mission to understand everything possible about Melanoma and the best direction for treatment. We are newbies and can only catch about half the " coded  " conversations but I am certian we will catch on eventually.

                I think we are all in search of the " Holy Grail " for melanoma and I hope it comes soon for all of us. If you have read my wife's stories you can see it all comes from her heart and a huge one she has. She has me read them somtimes before she posts and after I get done I am crying like a baby ( big tough guy, huh ) well that is all for now I just wanted to say hello and thank all of you for being who you are. I hope to write again soon.

                Again thanks for all the love and support…

                Bob
