Hi All!

It's been a long time (August) since my last post on SI. My divorce was final on 10/1 and I've been living life large since then.

My reason for posting today is that I was just diagnosed with a very deep stage 4 malignant melanoma. I'm hoping like hell it's localized as the recovery rate is 80% or better. If it's spread to my lymph nodes however, that number reduces to about 17%.

I'm going in for a Pet scan today @1:30pm est and should know more about where I'm at with this hopefully late today or early tomorrow. What I'm asking for here is good thoughts, Mojo, prayer... whatever you can see fit to send my way. I'm not trying to be negative, but I just have a sick feeling I'm gonna need all the help I can get on this.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all here at SI!!!!

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.
