I to have Metastatic Melanoma, 4 surgeries and have it in my blood. I just wanted to state that what you say about bedside manners and how your treated DOES make a HUGE differance on all this, While your tryng to deal with the whole new life you now have to begin and make all the changes, you dont need a dr, that does not have promise.

I goter licked. hehe whatever they do I can do better.
