              I bet I haven't looked at this board for six years.  Just living my life….Stage 3C 2004  lymph node dissection, 50 weeks of Interferon, Temodar and Isolated Limb Perfusion at Mass General.  Praying no recurrence, but am very aware of the possibility as my primary was very deep when finally diagnosed.
