Aloha ChristineL. Wanted to send huge mahalos for posting the above.  I ignored a lump in right groin until the point that it broke 'open' when I bumped it. A 30 year MD friend of mine looked at it and recommended immediate surgery. Within 2 weeks we were able to line up one of the best surgeons on the island for which I am extremely grateful.  My hesitation in initially have it looked at was lack of insurance and not having a clue that 'it' might be cancer.  Amazingly Medicare and a state program called Quest took care of all of the expenses, including outpatient and presecription. Maintianing a constant vigil of the JP bulb has been the biggest challenge.  Having not been given an antibiotic prescription immediately after surgery concerned me, but once started healing has been rapid.  

There have been ups and downs. I am single and live by myself, so eliciting the help of friends to do laundry, grocery shopping has been practically and emotionally helpful. Knowing that this is a 4 week recovery process is very helpful.  Before this event, I had never taken a prescription drug in my life other than for dental procedures.  Holistic practices have worked for everything else, fortunately. A full PT scan will let me know if I am affected in other areas.

Information given to me on use of Frankincense Oil that has no known side affects and many reports of use by German doctors for brain cancer encourged me to try this on a small double lump in left groin area. I have used this for only 4 days and have noticed a decrease in size, so am going to continue with the FO treatment. I am using a large flexible bandaid and soaking the pad of it with FO and leaving it there. It has been reported that stage 4 ovarian cancer has been removed in about six months time.  It certainly can't hurt to continue with this. I plan to continue the medical approach as an option at the same time and will report results to you in near future. 

I need to get back to resting (library is my new friend) and get away from computer.  Hopefully this info will be of help to others.  Who would even suspect that melanoma can affect the groin area. My encouragement is when doubt, have it checked out and don't wait as long as I did. 

Blessing to All,   Skye
