From Grandma @peggyella to @grandmar
My husband has had cancer 5 times... 2 of them, melanoma. You wouldn’t believe the size of his scars! The first time, tubular melanoma, very aggressive. In 12/2018, they found a spot on his back the size of a dime. It took 60 stitches to remove it bc it was deep and wide UNDER the skin. It’s always better large and a lot, than too little too late.

Good Morning,
I am so sorry to hear about your husband! Melanoma is a VERY scary cancer!!
My brother-in-law was full of moles and marks on his body. I can't remember HOW they found the first Melanoma, but the doctor did. They found it behind his calf. He went to Sloane Kettering, one of the BEST cancer hospitals. The doctors said this kind was like jumping jacks and could jump to another site that is unrelated. He also became what they called a chronic cancer patient. He would get the cancer, have it operated on, stay clear for a couple of years, then it would reappear.
To make a long, sad story short. The doctor was right! The cancer eventually jumped to his brain. He survived! Finally, it went into his groin in-between all sorts of muscles and veins. That is what finally got him at age 36. Rest his soul!
I live in Florida and after my diagnosis, I was afraid to go outside!
Bless us all!
