Appreciate the kind words- life's full of irony; she had also had Kaposi's Hemmoragic Sarcoma previously, and seemed to have beaten that... M. Melanoma was certainly a nasty surprise. You figure if you get one variety and beat it, lightning can't strike twice. A stroke got her in the end- all that testing and they never checked her head...
Be that as it may, like you, I sense we are on the verge of a tipping point in medicine, and longevity... if we all can just live long enough to see it come to fruition!
You spend a few hours in there and come out whole and feeling great.
