rmm17 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Here's an update on my melanoma diagnosis. . The surgeon said that they think they caught it early and "its the best kind of melanoma...thin". She said it can be completley curable. They did a very large excision and they think they got all the melanoma cells. I'll hear the pathology report on tuesday. I go back tomorrow to have my other moles examined. Hopefully they won't find anything. It looks like i'll just need to follow up very closely with my dermatologist for the next several year (and wear lots of sunscreen). Thanks for all your support, well wishes, and especially prayers.

Don M Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Good deal Rochelle. I have a lot of moles and have been seeing a dermatologist once a year for a checkup. i kind of skipped doing it this year and probably should make an appointment soon.
