        I have stage 3 melanoma and have gone through two surgeries which removed a total of 24 nodes with 9 malignant and two large tumors over 6cm. The melanoma has continued to grow in my lymph nodes and so they wanted to do another surgery to remove them. I have opted out of the surgery and I am going into biochemotherapy this next week. My wife and I feel that this is the best course of action for us and what we have researched has a very good record with stage 3 melanoma which is mestatic.

        I am 50 year old and in excellent health and very active, so we decided that we would hit it hard and strong and trust for the recovery after the biochemo.

        You and your husband will be in my prayers.
