Hi, Liz! Sorry that it has taken me so very long to respond. I hadn't checked for responses in about six months! How is your father doing? I would really like to hear about his recovery. I am doing fine, and my melanoma has not returned! I was able to go back to work a little over two months after my surgery, but I think I went back a little too soon. At this time, most of my leg continues to be numb, and at times, I feel clumsy (I don't seem to have the control of my leg like I used to), but I feel very blessed that I was able to have this surgery. About three months after the surgery, I got into a peptide vaccine clinical trial. I am hopeful that it has boosted my immune system so that it won't ever come back. Time will tell, but for now, I am enjoying every minute! I hope you get this--please let me know how he is doing. Lynn
