Aaaah SHIT! I just got my biopsy results. It's melanoma.

You're going to be just fine. You sound much stronger than I did. Just the word Melanoma sent me in to a tailspin of non-stop terror. In December of 2005, I was diagnosed with what they nick-named "left-sided Melanoma". The sun beats in the driver's side of the car through the window and 37 years of driving in Los Angeles, I got nailed.

Went through two surgeries, one in the dermatologists office (insurance company assholes trying to save money) and then six weeks later in the hospital by a surgeon. They found cells too close to the margins after the first procedure, so they had to do it again. The onocolgy surgeon was pissed off because they didn't send me to him first. End up costing the insurance company much more $$ because they tried to take the easy way out. Serves 'em right.

Well, that was 7 years ago, and I'm doing great. Got me a nasy scar, but who cares? They caught it early and that's all that matters.

Sending you a big
