        Hi Natasha!  I hope you feel well soon, my excision was on my breast and ice packs were so helpful and really provided a lot of relief.  Also I wore a good supported sports bra for about a week.

                          I think Brenda and Janner have both good points…points I fear and celebrate.  I have had three melanomas.  Part of me hopes that I am so vigilant now if another one comes I will catch it early.  I also know yes it could come back worse…but thats is a "could" and not something I should worry my life away on.  The best things we can do as melanoma warriors is to be vigilant and aware of our own bodies, be our own advocates, and support each other.

                                Regarding the ice pack….it is :

                                 

                                All-Temp Therapy Pack

                                Looks like they come in various sizes….it was perfect because I could postion it in my armpit and the wide excision sites.  Also they look to be fairly inexpensive.  Again..best of luck 🙂
