Road Runner Posted August 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2014 The mole-ish looking thing that I had removed from my abdomen was, in fact, a melanoma. I have to go back to the surgeon in two weeks to have more flesh removed. This kinda sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted August 13, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 13, 2014 eeks! do you know if it is an aggressive form of melanoma, where you'll be in chemo and everything, or will you just need to have it removed and then they monitor you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted August 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 13, 2014 good luck, RR. I hope the second procedure shows that it stayed local. I got the same diagnosis in '98 or '99 - after the initial excision they went back for more tissue (which is what it sounds like you're getting). It hadn't spread and I've had no recurrence, and I truly wish the same experience for you. Annual dermatologist inspections are worth it. Sunscreen is a bit of a PITA but I guess that's worth it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn Posted August 14, 2014 Share #21 Posted August 14, 2014 This will give your dermatologist an excuse to see you naked every six months. I have an appointment to see mine in a few weeks. She checks me all over every six months. As far as I know my liberal use of sunblock has been working, I haven't noticed anything new going on this summer. I thought it would be interesting to watch when they cut out more tissue on my bicep in March. I started to watch but when I saw how much tissue they were cutting out I had to turn my head, didn't really want to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
