      28 days after being diagnosed with a Breslow depth of 0.39mm and 26 days after surgery and 11 days after learning that my margins are clear, I will be returning to work on Nov 29th. I am excited and yet extremely nervous at the same time. Life, as I knew it, will never be the same again.

      Tomorrow, I have an appointment with my family doctor who has complete reports from the dermatopathologist and the plastic surgeon. I will finally be able to get a good look at what was written and he will also help if there is something I don't understand.

      I want to thank all of you who prayed with me and for me. For your cheers and kind words. My heart is with each and every one of you yesterday, today and always.
