      HI All – Just wanted to share our happy news.  We welcomed our first grandchild on Sunday – a particularly momentous day that we never expected my husband to be able to experience.  He was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma in 2012 and has had many setbacks so to be here 6 years later is truly a miracle.  The picture of him grinning while holding his grandson is priceless – makes me tear up just recalling the moment!  Oh yeah….and his brain mri and PET/CT scan on Monday were outstanding with no new issues to report.  Great scans are always wonderful but pale in comparison to the baby news!  Best wishes to all – hope our miracles give you hope for your own.
