              You could return on Monday, but if you have sick leave accrued don't be afraid to use it. I chose to be out for over a week because I didn't want to go back to work with stitches on my neck and staples in my head and have coworkers asking me what had happened.

                          Hi Greg,

                          I would agree with Julie in that this forum is only a small snapshot of those who have been affected by melanoma. The most important thing to keep in mind with melanoma, or any cancer, is that it doesn't make sense. Cancer does not play by any rules or statistics. It is cells behaving in a manner within the body that they shouldn't.

                          I was originally diagnosed with a 1.4 mm nodular scalp melanoma (visible in my profile pic.) It was removed WLE along with 8 nodes in November 2014. All the margins and nodes were clear. In January 2015, I noticed a small black dot right in the center of the scar tissue of the WLE. My doctors could not determine if it was residual melanoma or in transit.

                          Do not worry about things that are outside of your control. Cross each bridge as you get to them- that is my advice. I wish you the best!

                                I read Gene's story. That is awesome to hear that your husband has been NED after two years! I can honestly say I knew nothing about melanoma until a few months ago. Thank you for your reply to my post. All of the info and personal stories on this site has been so helpful.
