MRF Support Group Survey

The Melanoma Research Foundation is interested in co-sponsoring support groups for ocular and mucosal melanoma patients in 2016. A few different options and a few different co-sponsors are currently being considered and we are now looking for feedback from you so that we may develop the best, most helpful support groups possible. We value your feedback and comments and thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
