59. Congratulations! What a relief that is for you and your family
Wed Feb 27, 2013, 07:39 PM
Feb 2013

There was a young friend of the family who had a dime-sized melanoma removed from his back, and I tell you the size of the chunk that was removed with it was scary-impressive. The surgeons leave nothing to chance! The "young friend" is now over 50 and doing well. You do the same, okay?

Cheers,

Hekate
