Wednesday, February 13, 2008 at 09:07 AMi just read your entry. i am newly diagnosed with melanoma. i am meeting today to have the site removed and the sentinel node thing done. i am 36 with a 3 year old and 1 year old. i am terrified of my children growing up without a mommy. your entry gave me a little hope. melanoma sounds so sneaky and invasive there is no telling what to expect. i just want to raise my kids and be there for them.
