Just wanted to rant about how much I hate melanoma right now. My uncle (dad's brother) just had a skin biopsy result come back melanoma in situ. A month before my own diagnosis, my mom's brother had melanoma in situ removed. Another family member (by marriage) just told me she had melanoma in situ removed years ago, right after she had finished chemo for lymphoma. THANK GOODNESS thay all caught theirs early! I can't be more thankful for that.
My brother just sent me a picture of a big bandage on the back of his scalp from a biopsy he just had done this morning. He's had a few atypical moles removed in the past, I am hopeful that is what this is too… I just can't even go there with the "what if". He's my best friend, my only sibling, my whole damn world. He's dealt with a testicular cancer scare plus, his daughter had a large wilms tumor when she was only a year old, had her whole kidney removed and spent her second year of life doing chemo. Nope, won't take anymore of these cancer bullies in my family… LEAVE US ALONE!
Ok, rant over.
