      I was diagnosed as Stage 2B nodular melanoma on Halloween (no treats for me – only tricks!) and have completed the whilwind of PET scans, surgery, etc.  I am a 53 year-old male living in northern Connecticut and was hoping to find an in-person support group where I could meet others on this same journey.  I was kinda hoping to find a cancer buddy that I could sit down and have a cup of coffee with.  Do such groups exist?
