            Thank you all!  I am going to possibly go back to talk to MSK as well as talk to Mount Sanai (a Dana Farber melanoma oncologist just joined with them!).  Thanks for all your support!  I feel more empowered to make the change to an organization where I feel that I am a person and not just a number.  Thank you!

                Thank you both!  Yes – I don't feel confident in my oncologist and that's what worries me.  I know I'll still be on "watch and wait" status and I agree with that.  But I just want to like the doctor and nurses and staff that I see every 3-4 months.  Right now – I don't.  I guess I will begin my search for a Center of Excellence.  Is that an actual term?  I'll have to google!  🙂
