      I had surgery on Tuesday to remove the melanoma and 2 lymph nodes. The lymph nodes came back benign. 

      Thank you for all the support here. I have been reading along, and I am just amazed at how smart and brave you all are. 

      I hope this beast never returns to me, but it is so comforting to know this group exists. My step father passed away from melanoma in 2004. I pray for all of you that they find a cure for this type and all cancers, soon.
