"When It Rains, It Pours"

For me the title applies to my current medical condition.

Our Travels + Melanoma

After the last post, anyone accessing this site might be wondering what is going on. Well, we decided with the support of my surgeon, and my oncologist partner, my son the surgeon, and another surgeon partner of mine, that we would go ahead with the planned trip. Everyone agreed that it would not make any difference to postpone the definitive surgical removal and the sentinel node biopsy for 4 weeks so we could take this trip. I have spent some time off and on checking the lesion that still remains on my right upper arm. It will be nice to get it off though the trip of course has kept me occupied to block most of these thoughts.

Where do I begin? A diagnosis of malignant melanoma!

     I am engulfed, embroiled in a universal experience and want to write about some of the events and the overwhelming feelings that become involved.
