Many of you know what a horrible time we've been having lately re Mrs. Venation's health and her mom's stuff.
So let's pile some more on.
Mrs. V. had a mole removed last week. Today we learned that it is malignant melanoma.
Can't we just catch a break?
Old timers know that I'm not always such a downer, honestly . . . I just really wish that we could catch a break.

I'm so hoping!
My very best vibes for you both...

(30,947 posts)That is scary. I always freak out at any changes I see in my skin. At least it was caught early. Hope she has full recovery soon.

(38,264 posts)My dad recently had a big scary thing cut out of his own skin. Doctors are pretty sure they got it all, even though it left such a big hole they were talking about skin grafts for awhile.
I've had things cut out of me too and spent sleepless nights waiting for the pathology reports... I was a white kid on Southern California beaches when people thought tans were healthy... I suffered a few blistering burns. I've got too much skin that is not pretty. Sun scars and weird stuff.
Best vibes that the scary thing in Mrs. V's skin is all gone...
