Melanoma

Back in 2001, I had a large mole removed from my back that turned out to be Melanoma. Over the years I would get my skin checked and every once in a while have something removed and checked, but all had been benign until today.

Last week I had a mole shaved off to get checked. I didn't look bad, but it had seemed to spring up rather quickly, so that had concerned me some.

It turns out that it has some Melanoma characteristics and it is time to do some more digging, cutting and checking.

I guess 10 years is a good amount of time with no other issues, and I always knew it was still in my body somewhere. Hiding and biding its time. Fuck you Melanoma. I will beat you...
