There is a melanoma forum that I visit daily. Mainly to see how others are doing and to give advise where I can. I am not anywhere nearly as knowledgeable as many of the people who visit, but I do have experiences worth sharing. There are a few people who are in the thick of it that I like to hear updates about. Some are doing well, some are fighting for their lives. There have been a few times this year where people who I was very hopeful for have lost their battle. These are the updates that I find the most difficult to read. Will this eventually be my path as well, or will I have a happy ending? I guess only time will tell. 

To Josh: I hope you have finally found peace.
