MELANOMA

SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2010 Well, my ‘puter’s been in the shop for a physical and virus removal and as stated above, I did the same. I had an appointment with my NP Shelly Ebert on Wednesday the 14 for a physical, blood work etc. I had her look at the mole on my left lower leg/shin. She said she thought it was just hardened skin but asked if I would like to have it removed. I said why not so she gave me a local which numbed my whole lower leg and dug down rather deep. Today I got the results in the mail. It began with: Comment by: EBERT, SHELLY 07/15/10 14:15:15 Fred, Turns out a little melanoma. We need to do a deeper biopsy. You can come to me to (or) go see a plastic surgeon. Your choice. Shelly. Somewhere else on the multiple sheet lab report she said I should make an appointment to see her about the results. Anyway, I have skin cancer. Guess I will make a phone call Monday.
