Bio

I am 66 and was looking forward to living a longer life (mom lived to be 90). Now this stage 3 melanoma diagnosis with a 6.5mm primary and one positive lymph node appears to be “my ticket home to heaven” barring a miracle–which I do believe can happen if God wants this to happen for me. Ideally I would like to link up with people similarly diagnosed with large primary tumors on back who are approaching this disease with a positive attitude, as I do not wish this disease to further rob me of joy in whatever number of days/weeks/months/years I have left.
