Title: My wife has Melanoma
Post by: bassmedic46 on February 11, 2021, 07:58:16 AM
My wife had gotten the good news of no Breast Ca but she got the bad news of 2 Melanomas on her back. She had those removed yesterday. Amazing they did it in the Drs office with lidocaine same as they do in the Dentist office. She is a little sore but doing ok.

Happy to hear your wife is doing better. Fortunately the Dr took care of the Melanomas. Thank you for the update.

Glad they found it so quickly and were able to remove without further issues. Melanoma can be dangerous.

A reminder for all of us to check ourselves and our partners backs.

Early detection is huge. Glad she is doing well, I will keep the prayers going up for both of you.

Good news that they got it. Is she going to have periodic exams? I have a friend who does and they catch new spots each time that have to be removed.

figure it's kind of like colonoscopies.  if they find stuff the first time, the frequency goes up...

glad that they found it and are 'after it'.  that is great news!

The surgeon told my wife that she will have to see the Dermatologist again. I'm sure they will have to keep a eye on her. Thank you everyone for your prayers.
