Leslie had Gamma Knife radiation in January for 3 tiny tumors in her brain and this week it is Cyber Knife radiation for 2 tumors in her chest. She is strong and feeling well, we still hope to beat this cancer. Again, melanoma is so much easier to prevent than it is to treat - please! PLEASE! PLEASE! take precautions to prevent excessive sun exposure with suncreen, hats, and protective clothing. Get a dermatologist check-up every year and report any unusual spots. Most of all, teach your children that the sun is not your friend! Thanks :) Mike
