Thanks, I'm on a treatment that's working and I'm feeling fine but melanoma never truly goes away. Even if I get to the point where I'm pronounced "No Evidence of Disease" it can come back at any time. Right now my biggest issue is just healing from the damage caused by tumor die-off and radiation. I've got several large open wounds on my left leg that are incredibly slow to heal. I'm guessing it will be another 1 or 2 years for the wounds to close completely. I actually consider myself fortunate that things aren't a lot worse. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It kills a lot of people every year.
My wife bought the machine as a surprise for me. It's my main machine now. I like the way it sews and so far it's trouble free.
