Calling Barbara!

[Lucy]

Hi Barbara,

I just saw on a post someplace that you'd had a couple of melanomas. When did that happen? I somehow must've missed the original post.
Belated well wishes on that.

Yours, Luce

Luce------the first one was in 04---
had a little freckle (for years) on the side of my left foot---by ankle bone-it never changed---smooth as could be--even all around and stayed that way---
Derma just didnt like it and good thing -- that was my first melanoma --had surgery to remove that one--

Second one was below right knee cap--that was not a freckley looking thing--just something that looked LUMPY--I think that was around 06--surgery for that also--

third one was another little thing smack in the middle of my forehead--I figured I would stick a *ruby* in that --I think that was in 08---

All surgery cuttings (Xpaining it as best I can) naturally went deeper than the *spot* so that the biopsies would show if deeper cutting was necessary --

And my DERMA--wants me to have X-rays every year--so far so good---but as I posted--my GP wants to do a DYE contrast this time---and I agree----

Luce when I say I have been covered from HEAD right down to my TOE I mean it--
The worse part was that I wasnt allowed to WALK (foot and kneecap) so Lou got me a wheel chair and when potty time called I would hop to the throne~~~~

Have U had any issues???

Thanks for asking--
Barbara
