My Own Little Hell
it has been forever since I last posted. For the last month, I have been going through hell. Two summers ago, I got a severe burn from the sun. About three months ago, I noticed a mole on my shoulder that was not there before. I went to have it checked on Feb 5. My doctor removed it and the pathologist report came back as melanoma. That word sent me into shock and denial all at once. I remember the doctor telling about the cancer but my mind could not wrap around the idea. Needless to say, I was sent to a plasiti surgeon to have an area about 3 inches long removed. Pain!!!! He removed the underlying tissue and a layer of muscle. I finally got the results back today along with the stitches out! I do not have cancer. The melanoma was only in that spot and not in the deep tissue or lymp nodes. Thanks God! I have never been so scared and relieved in one moment than I was today. Luckiiy, everything worked out for the best.
