              Good Morning, I have just read your post and cannot believe that your doctor

              has said no to the second cut, i had a melanoma on my tummy and im the one

              that found it had changed and got to it realy fast, my doctor took it off and it came

              back melanoma, i then had a second cut deeper ,even though they said it was incredible

              that i had found this change in mole so soon and it was fantastic news its protocol

              to have the second deeper and wider cut.

               

              So i had that and forgot all about he melanoma and went on living life to the fullest

              little did i know it had returned in my groin i am now on a roller coaster  ,not meaning to

              scare you but like the last person says Melanoma is the horrible one to get as it does

              travel and when it does it travels fast ,mine took a year to show up in my groin as a lump like

              a marble ,then grew to the size of a chook egg within weeks,ive had a huge operation and

              now have lymphodema due to that operation ,and ive also had four weeks of radiation to my

              groin and leg area ,im sore still so doctor is looking at running a PET scan next as he cant

              understand why im still so sore inside as all this happened in january .

               

              if it were me i would have demanded the second cut thats for sure ,i wish you all the luck inthe

              world some of us are so lucky that it never returns some get five years i got one .

              But my fight is not over yet im a survivor and its hard to take me out.
