Best answer!

I've said a prayer that the surgeon's hand will be guided by grace and your recovery will be complete and sure. You are loved, and not just by me!

Hector so good to hear that - did not like to ask - good as it is in one isolated place and visible. They will have to do histology on it when they remove it, to actually prove that it is a melanoma and they will get the result almost immediately hopefully - like Ducky thinking of you and good luck with this - good hospital they will look after you.

Been in the sun too much? I didn’t think that was possible in your part of the world. Good luck and I h ope all test are negative……..

The following skin transformations warrant immediate attention:

Color change

Bleeding without cause

Ulcerations or infection of skin

Itching

Pain or tenderness

Transformation from flat to raised or vice versa

Hi Julie. You must have missed Dennis's announcement about six weeks ago that he had been diagnosed with a melanoma and was scheduled for this surgery. "What's a melanoma?" was the question. :(
