I'm a new member; was diagnosed with melanoma April 25, on my left ear. Had surgery May 15. All of my tests have been clean. I start a year-long course of interferon Monday.
I'm not afraid of potential side effects, but of statistics. I've been so scared for so long, that I've forgotten what joy feels like. I need to find it again.
I agree, I think this is the most fabulous website ever! I like the idea of myspace and facebook and I have pages there, but its so nice to be on a site that isn't about being unconscious and drinking and smoking and partying life away. I LOVE the conscious awareness of the members on here. I love all the tips about how to stay in the moment and how to better care for our bodies both spiritually and physically!
Hey statistics...NO, forget about em & focus on your healing. You WILL find joy again, in moments & moments & before you know it they will be strung together into a flow & you'll be somewhere else. Check out the Laughing/Joke group!

Thanks so much! I'm feeling better today, than I have in awhile. Consult went really well the other day, and I had a great conversation this morning with someone I'd been wanting to talk to.
