      Hi:  I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Melanoma Cancer stage 3 A, one Dr says A, the other says B, anyway, last week on Oct 18th I went for my second pet scan of this year, at the present time I am being followed, still in remission, I was the one that opted to not to do chemo, the Dr said remission, and my thought was, you are saying remission, so I will just be followed.  That is what I am doing, even though I go for my test, and follow-up visits, its been hard.  But my beliefs in God, and good suppot has help me.  Mainly my belief in God, and the strength to walk this out.  I go back in Jan of 2014 for a follow up visit, and don't have to do another PET scan for 6 months.  So ya'll here, keep you chin up.  Be encouraged.
