I forgot to mention that after the diagnosis of malignant melanoma, I totally changed my life. I've also had no more hemangiomas appear either.

In the intervening 20 years, I have existed rather like Guy Sajer desciribed his post war years in "The Forgotten Soldier". "There came a day when I should have died, and after that nothing seemed very important. So I have stayed as I am, without regret, separated from the normal human condition".

Only recently have I begun to realize I need to put the past behind me, crawl out of my shell and try to salvage a life.
