Clear Borders

My biopsy indicates that all the malignant cells were removed on July 8th. I had melanoma "in situ" which is classified as stage 0, the earliest form. I'm still uncomfortable with this oozing sutured wound, but I'm lucky, and this news has lifted my spirits. Twenty years ago, I had a malignant melanoma on my arm, and had that removed quickly as well. The doctor told me about his recent patient that had  finally come in after waiting years. This man had even bandaged his face as the tumor grew large and unsightly. Who knows if they can cut it out at this point, and if they can, he may lose an eye, and a lot of his face. Horrible, horrible, and now I'm spared all that nastiness. I'll even be handsome again, given a little time.
