Loud & clear in Massachusetts. I will miss his posts as well.  I read everyone of them with tears of joy at times and tears of sadness now.

I know it's tough but you have to try and remain positive. Stressing out just makes everything worse. You're doing everything you can right now and you're on the right track and will know the results soon. I had an uncle who died from it also and I'm Stage IIIB. I just try to remain on the positive side and if you have good doctor's, they will help you through this.

I also found that people were very much a comfort. Once you find out your results, let your family know. They'll help you tremendously.

Good luck!!

I feel the same way. I always read his posts and waited to see how he was doing. When he didn't post for a while, I worried. Brenda, you will always be in our prayers. You're right, he's in a better place and hopefully at peace. I have a son Kevin who's the same age. I feel heartache and yet, I feel that he's in a better place.

Believe me, it's not that common at all. My oncologist said it happens in only about 5 – 10% of cases. He said it could've been that the cell was already in stream as the SNB was done, or that it just happened to go to a different node on that day, I can't remember the third reason he gave. In any case, it's not common and in my case, my node with melanoma was encapsulated so there's hope that no cells broke out of the node. But we all know, you never know with melanoma and might not for years to come.
