A reason for surviving

I just wanted to share with all of you, especially if you are in the middle of treatment: I just helped and participated in my daughter's wedding this last weekend. What a wonderful, peaceful feeling I had in the middle of the celebration -- taking a moment within myself and looking around at family, friends and all of our children and feeling blessed. That's why we cancer people go through what we go through. Note: I'm a 4 year breast cancer survivor and a 15 month melanoma survivor...it's all worth it.

    I recently underwent bilateral mastectomy. I was deathly afraid and seemed to regret my decision for quite some time...until I was able to celebrate my 32nd b-day cancer free and with a new lease on life. Good for you! Good luck to you and yours.

    HI billandpatty,

    I was wonderign how your treatment for Melanoma is going? My husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma last June and he is in his third month of Interferon. Side effects are bad, so far and mood is even worse. Any suggestions.

    Thank you and I hope you feel fine.
