Update on my doctors visit. The news is not good.

48. Although....it's said that chicks dig scars....wait, you're....never mind :-)

Seriously; though.

I've just gotten through with a MOHS procedure "adventure" for the most part, and my sister had one a couple years ago, and it was OK after everything was over. We were both pretty scared, as we'd lost our mother to a melanoma that came back. My sisters' was next to her nose, and the surgeon was able to almost completely eliminate any scarring. Although she did look kind of bad for a while, with the bruising, but she's an Elementary teacher, so things were a bit "interesting" to the kids and co-workers.

The technology for detection and surgery has improved radically since Mom's was first discovered/treated, so there's a pretty good chance that they can get yours taken care of and give you a clean bill of health.

Still, I know it can be pretty scary, with the C-word involved. So I, and a lot of other people here, will be giving you our best wishes, positive vibes, prayers, etc...

One thing that I've become aware of is that medical technology has advanced over the last decades so that things which were a death sentence in the 70's or 80's are survivable or controllable now.
