                    I am stage 3B and have been since 2008.  I can say that the fear never completely goes away, but it does get better.  I am 4.5 yrs "cancer free" and melanoma isn't the first thing on my mind when i wake up.  It use to be, but not now.   When i am at a soccer game watching my kid play i do look for shade, and i do always wear spf.  Melanoma use to rule me, but know i can control it.  There was a time when i was at a soccer game and  thats all i could think about was did i cover every inch of my body with SPF,   is there a beam of sun hitting me thru the shade??  Sure it sounds crazy, and i realize that now.  It use to be that i never just got a headache, i was sure i had cancer in my brain, but now i take tylenol and sure enough my headache/brain tumor go away.  I think as you continue to be cancer free and years pass, skin cancer prevention becomes part of your life.
