      Good Morning, I have just read your post and cannot believe that your doctor

      has said no to the second cut, i had a melanoma on my tummy and im the one

      that found it had changed and got to it realy fast, my doctor took it off and it came

      back melanoma, i then had a second cut deeper ,even though they said it was incredible

      that i had found this change in mole so soon and it was fantastic news its protocol

      to have the second deeper and wider cut.

       

      So i had that and forgot all about he melanoma and went on living life to the fullest

      little did i know it had returned in my groin i am now on a roller coaster  ,not meaning to

      scare you but like the last person says Melanoma is the horrible one to get as it does

      travel and when it does it travels fast ,mine took a year to show up in my groin as a lump like

      a marble ,then grew to the size of a chook egg within weeks,ive had a huge operation and

      now have lymphodema due to that operation ,and ive also had four weeks of radiation to my

      groin and leg area ,im sore still so doctor is looking at running a PET scan next as he cant

      understand why im still so sore inside as all this happened in january .

       

      if it were me i would have demanded the second cut thats for sure ,i wish you all the luck inthe

      world some of us are so lucky that it never returns some get five years i got one .

      But my fight is not over yet im a survivor and its hard to take me out.
