He had his operatimg schedule full up until the middle of August. I'm not sure just what he did but his nurse emailed me (and another nurse phoned me) to say that he wou7ld operate on me on 6 July. This is great because this allows my wife and I to be in Colorado again in mid/late August for the birth of Gramd kid # 15. Thank You UVA!
It was noted that If the melanoma has indeed gone from my rear endthru my left groin then thru my neck and to my right breast, that this would indeed be an unusual path for it to follow. So here's hoping that it's not a cancerous growth in there!
