To be honest I haven't had the guilty feeling yet, all I can feel is gratitude right now. My Oncologist says he really can't say why my mets went away so quickly after starting treatment and has not returned. I just pray that it stays that way, I just feel too lucky to feel guilty. And I know very well that luck can run out, just trying to stay positive that it doesn't. It is very hard for me watching my brother go through what he is going through with his melanoma. Nothing has worked for him and he's taking an experimental drug right now that is pretty much his last hope. He will find out in a couple of weeks if it is working. We were diagnosed a month apart. He told me that he had prayed to God to please not take the both of us. Maybe God has listened to his prayers, I just want him to listen to mine now and save my brother. This all just doesn't make sense. I just wish God would plant the knowledge into these researchers that would finally find a cure for this disease. We are losing way too many good young people..sherryg683
