I’ve now passed the one-year mark from my second surgery. Whew! I had this strange thought a couple of weeks ago when thinking about this anniversary. Normally, you’d say things are positive for me since everything’s been good this past year. It dawned on me that the research and medical communities are structured to consider finding a disease as a positive thing. This is why it’s bad news when your doctor says results are positive. So, here’s hoping for a negative 2010! ha!
Hey, CJ
I want to thank you for being so brave as to post your struggles with melanoma on this blog. It’s been a great source of information for me as my boyfriend has the same rare form of melanoma that you had. Your blog has given me and my boyfriend a lot of hope and information as to what to expect for his future treatments. Thank you so much. Your strength is so admirable and has been a great sense of comfort for me in these hard times.
Sincerely,
Becky
