Tuesday 3rd November
.
Seven years now
I’ve been on a trial
Adjuvant treatment
It’s been so worthwhile
.
It’s not just skin cancer
Melanoma is vile
Spreading to the lymph nodes
Surgery changed my lifestyle
.
So, vigilance is key
Can’t be in denial
Up at five this morning
Hospital arrival
.
Scan then dermatology
Service with a smile
Found a small alienblob
Removal is vital
.
Excision in two weeks
Health to reconcile
I’ll be left looking like
Been bitten by a crocodile
.
Always thinking of you
My darling Angel son

Sending you prayers 💕

Such lovely photos
Seven years can feel like seven minutes or 70 years.

So they need to test something they’ll remove?

Yes… If a dodgy mole or lesion is found, it will be removed and sent to the path lab. If further cancer/melanoma cells are found, a wider excision will be carried out.
This will be the third one on my back 😒
At least it has been spotted quickly, before becoming too large.
Stay safe.

What an awful thing. Every cancer is, for that matter. All the best.

Have you ever heard of a YouTuber named Emily Hayward? She had rather aggressive melanoma and sadly passed a way a couple of years ago. She documented her life for two years through the ups and downs. I hope I am not upsetting you, it’s not my intention. She was just an incredible person.

Thank you.
No I haven’t come across Emily Hayward. I’ll certainly read her story.
(You haven’t upset at all, don’t worry!).
Stay safe.
