I am a 5 year survivor of Desmo Plastic Melanoma on my forehead.  Had 5
surgeries but opted not to have my lymph nodes checked after talking to my derm
and researching.  Had a small mass removed from my lymph glands last month that
was a benign cyst.  I am 74 years old, have been a vegetarian for 30 years and
believe that eating and drinking wholesome and organic foods help fight any
disease.  I juice each morning, say "Good morning world" each morning and try to
live each day as a gift (that one is hard sometimes in the press of everyday
life).  I have belonged to two online groups that eventually have been spammed
(is that a word?).  I know that Melanoma can rear its ugly head at any time so I
collect wisdom from those of you who have fought this disease.  I appreciate
gaining knowledge on the latest information on treatments and will contribute
only when I can help in a positive way.Thank you for your courage and
support,Polly
