Melanoma is one of best and worst cancers. It all depends on if it has metastasized.. Had it already, my final overseas clearance, going out the door the Doc says let me look at that spot on your right arm. Mole looking thing, but a red rim. asked if it has been there long? Yes it has. took a biopsy of it, and got a call you need to get to the hospital right now. They cut it out and no issues 20+ years later. If it gets below 6mm or so into you it can get in the lymph nodes and basically your done once it hits some area you can't live without. Less than that, have it cut out and continue screening for more spots. Praying not your case, that it has metatasized.

It's messing up my fishing trip. With the operation, and trip to Bostin, I'll be hard pressed to do it all. You can always go fishing and to Boston later. Put your big girl panties on and don't whimper. Spend a day in a true cancer facility and you'll feel blessed at the end of the day. 6 months watching a 16 year old take the same trial therapeutic drug that you are can be eye opening. Sadly, I'm the only one of the two of us that's still alive more than a year later.......... I have a 6 inch scar from 11 years ago that resulted from taking a mole sized tumor off my left thigh. When they removed it they thought it was benign, but they came back 2 weeks later and gouged me good when it wasn't. Today its the least of my worries.
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.
