    I never worry about scars - internal or external. Some fade, some harden, some just sit there like a key to the palimpsest of your past.

    With melanoma, it's more like dodging bullets, and the scar is not what you think about.

    dear Britt -

    Little round blob on surface came out, but longish horizontal incision (and therefore scar) to help it stay sewn up and heal afterwards. Report from the lab: looks like they got it all.

    But as you know: there are no sure things in that business.

    Thanks for caring.

    And keep the aspidistra flying,

    Britt - I had a melanoma, skin cancer, on my back. Was spotted by my regular dermatologist, she sent me to Dr. Shelton for the excavation. So not good for my skin -- good for my survival!
