| Just thought I would share. Get your skin checked. I ended up with a mole that looked funny. Had it checked and it was Melonoma. It was graded a zero out of 4. Had it cut out and luckily got the news today that it had not spread deeper into my skin to travel other places in my blood. Only side effects is I have enough stitches in my arm that from the right angle it looks like they had to reattach my arm. But better than being told sorry it spread you might have 5yrs. Which was the original talk before they cut it out. I'm doing mentally better knowing it didn't get into my blood but still have to stay vigilant. | |

| I have plenty of odd looking moles. Who looks at them and determines what is good and bad? Glad you got yours in time. | |

| Great news,melanoma took my first wife back in 1994. Medicine has come a long way since then but the C word is still the scariest in the English language. God bless you and protect you from any other occurrence. | |

les, you need to go to a dermatologist. We go once a year. They chop or freeze stuff almost every visit. No biggy. However, if melanoma gets away it is usually very bad. The older you get the more you need to watch. Glad you got yours early Scott. | |
