Well today we went to MDA to meet with the clinical trial team. At this time, the trial Dr. Kim wanted Marcus in is not open-but they are hoping it will re-open in 2-3 weeks. If not, then
there are several other trials available-this was just the first choice-SO-we will patiently wait for God to bring us to whatever trial is necessary for Marcus to receive his healing!! Please continue to pray for our patience -especially mine-I get antsy when things don't happen
as fast as I think they should ;) Thank you all again for your
continued support-we love you all!!!
my name is Mindy Stanley Anderson and i began this blog to share updates of my life-as the wife of a melanoma warrior. my husband Marcus lost his battle April 1, 2010. i will continue to blog here in his honor, in hopes that i can help other families during their time of struggle. all glory goes to God-we would not be where we are without his help-with him we can do ANYTHING!
OUR FAMILY
LEARN THE ABCDEF'S OF MELANOMA!!! EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY!
- ASYMMETRY: Does half of the mole look different from the other half?
- BORDER: Is the border of the mole irregular or ill defined?
- COLOR: Is the color uneven or has it changed over time?
- DIAMETER: Is the mole larger than a pencil eraser?
- ELEVATION: Has the surface of the mole changed? If it was smooth and flat before, is it now elevated ?
- FEELING: Has the sensation around the mole changed? Does it itch? Is it painful?
- PLEASE DO A SKIN EXAM EVERY MONTH AND WATCH FOR THESE SIGNS.

Mindy,
I check your blog regularly to see how you and your family are doing. The waiting is tough, but you are so strong. I believe your husband will be able to go into one of those trials very soon!

Just letting you know that you, Marcus and the girls continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Link to a great song...so powerful. If anyone you know understands impatience, it's me!! This song helps me to just slow down, let go, and let God. It applies to almost anything in life! When you feel like the weight of the world is drowning you, just let the song blare in your car, and you will get out feeling light as a feather :)
@Stephanie-than you so much for your support! We are staying strong in the Lord girl-only way to get through!!!
@ Sybil-thank you so much for your prayers-they keep me going!!
