      How are you doing Alana? Any new info? Does anyone know?

      She posted a 1-1/2 to 2 months ago. Just curious what has happened since her initial consult.
      Thanks

          I'm not sure she'll be back. She was in a really frazzled place when she was here because not only was she dealing with a melanoma diagnosis, she was also dealing with the breakup of a relationship. I don't know her personally — this is something I recall reading in her posts.

          She came here looking for support and got a bunch of confusing answers from well-meaning people who just reacted to a post rather than reading the entire thread before answering. For example, a number of different people repeatedly told her to go see a melanoma speciaist, but if they'd read all her posts, they'd have seen that she was being seen at Johns Hopkins.

          But she certainly had a double-whammy with her diagnosis and personal life. I pray she's doing better and getting on with her life.
