        am back here January 4,2016.  Had my surgery done in NYC -radical local incision plus sentinal node biopsy.  The sentinal node biopsy was negative. Praise the Lord!  I am one of the lucky ones I say humbly. I am to be monitored every three months by surgeon and dermatologist.  My take away is be vigilant – and tell everyone we know to go for checkups – especially familly members.  My dermatologist says melanoma treatment is astounding — with great advances.  He points to Jimmy Carter. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
