Cancer Sucks!

[money pits fixer]

I too am under "active surveillance" for another 13 months. At 5 years clear I am done, but don't think they use the word "cure" for melanoma.

Stay on top of it . Wear protective clothing & a hat not a cap . I'm sure you allready know all this but that stuff is serious.
Glad to read your good

Yep, 4”+ brim hat and 50 upf clothing. First found on my skin in 2019 and made its way to lung in 2022. Miracle of immunotherapy has me here today and looking to the future.

I'm not saying it can't or won't happen to me but my whole family on Dad and Mom's side have never had a skin cancer (knock on wood) - we're all dark haired and complected, rather easy to tan, lots of Native American background, outside all the time. I do put on sunscreen for beach trips and so on but I never have for just going out to mow etc. Granny always wore a big sun hat in the garden. I called it her SUNbrero when I was a little guy and didn't know any better.

What a nice surprise I just had… I looked at my throwaway yahoo email account I use for a lot internet stuff and saw there was a Stangfix one. Clicked on it and was brought to the the first page of this thread. Oh crap- msell and then ford dude both announce they have cancer! Then I notice the dates are from 2015 and there are 40 pages so I skip to Last page and they are both cured! Sorry you guys had to go through that but it was only a minute or so for me!
Dealing with my own “active surveillance” situation so love hearing about Wins.

I did the same thing. Blew me away. Congratulations.
