Dammit!
« on: July 02, 2016, 07:57:47 PM »
Just had a phone call  a few minutes ago... seems the 'pea' sized chunk that was removed from my scalp a couple of weeks back has tested as malignant, and I have to have a larger piece of scalp removed tomorrow.
Wish me luck.

Sorry to hear your news Kev.   Best wishes for your second  surgery next week,  and my prayers are that the doctors will have the skill and wisdom to get it all this time, and that you will have some peace of mind.

I certainly hope for a great outcome. And constant reports are needed of course.

Take care of yourself Kev. It pays to get these as early as possible.  Sounds like your doctors are on top of it.  To get some clean margins around the site your "pea" may turn into an apricot.  I hope all goes well

Thanks guys, all good... just home a short while ago. Surgeon removed a piece of scalp roughly the size of a 20 cent coin, but then found another melanoma on my back that I was unaware of. He excised a chunk about the size of a golf ball, and slapped 9 stitches in to close the hole. Have to go back Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for a burst of radiology, and 12 days yet until stitches come out.

Sounds like the doc knows what he's looking for.
Here's hoping the cut and pasting is complete and the irradiation puts an end to the biz.
All the best with the treatment.         :thumbs :thumbs

Well, that was a bit of a marathon event? I was supposed to have a cat scan at 9.30, but there were 5 people in line ahead of me.
Finally got scan at 11.40, (about 10 minutes), and the radiology only took about 5 minutes at 11.55 -12 pm.
Can sit around at home now until Thursday morning for the next dose.
