            My husband was diagnosed in May 2011 with Clark's level IV melanoma skin cancer. After 2 surgeries and a month of interferon treatments he is cancer free!
            We are trying to give our 5 yr old daughter a sibling, but after several months unsuccessful! Im starting to think he wont be able to have kids. He is becoming depressed to the point I am concerned and thinking about consulting a doctor.
            I praise God everyday for not taking my husband.
            He will be 36 this week. I will be 37 in June. We are still young, I just feel older having endured this.
