        I`ve gotta tell ya.  The past doesn`t matter once you get to where you are now as far as melanoma or I should think any other consequence one might suffer because of previous acts.  You have to put that out of your mind.  I`m sure there are hundreds of stories of regret here about what we did when we were younger.  (I shudder to think of my own stupidity.)  But it is part of who you are.  It is part of who you are.  Live for today and the rest of your life and don`t let your emotions make you weak.  From what I`ve seen the short time I`ve visited this board, the giants who come here don`t waste much time allowing their emotions to run their lives.  They are earnestly and valiantly fighting for every day.  Shouldn`t we who have so much more to be grateful for be even more determined to live forward not backward?, both for ourselves and our compatriots?  I should think yes.  Ya can`t go back and if you tread water long enough you drown so you better start moving forward my friend!, for yourself and for the rest of this body of people of whom so much is asked.  You go girl!
