WE MUST HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL. During my...
During my initial consult, Dr. Kimberly O'Sullivan urged me to have a few of my moles removed asap. They are/were located on my abdomen. When I told my husband about this, he seemed to take it in, especially given the irregular mole on his back. He had put off the removal of one mole, in particular, for nearly two years! Thank God, fate intervened on what could have been a horrific outcome. Dr. O'Sullivan is diligent and very informed about irregular moles. When I called her office on a Friday, they had a cancellation and scheduled my surgery on the following Tues...... to schedule my tummy tuck. I ran it by my best friend and husband of nineteen years. He said, "will she be able to remove my mole........after your procedure? I must admit, his inquiry caught me off guard. I was so excited about finally getting rid of this loose skin, it seemed odd to work in his mole but I went along. In fact, I had nearly forgotten but the answer was "yes" after I called the office to confirm.
A week later, the news was shocking and frightening beyond belief. Stage 1, active melanoma. Cancer. We are panicked beyond words and we're not out of the woods yet. This week, we're going to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. We suspect, they will recommend a Sentinal Node Biopsy to ensure the cancer has not spread to his lymph nodes. The odds are on our side.
Miraculously, my tummy tuck, a Doctor who is hyper-vigilant about moles and a husband who needed an "in" all came together to give us a fighting chance. We have learned that Melanoma makes up 4% of all skin cancers but it is, by far, the deadliest. We both shudder to think of the outcome had we not found Dr. O'Sullivan.....or if I had delayed my procedure. The Real Self site led us down the road to what will likely be a full recovery. Please keep us in your prayers.
2 weeks post op. Today I learned, there's no need...
Provider Review
Dr. O'Sullivan is a wonderful and caring Doctor. She spent a great deal of time listening to my needs and taking my specific situation into consideration. She explained everything and analyzed various options for us to come up with the best course of action. The fact that she is warm and personable made me gravitate to her from the beginning. Her specialty as a hand surgeon in addition indicated to me that she is precise and detail oriented. Other reviews I have read describing her as an "artist" confirm this fact. I'm only 4 days in, but to date, my upper abs (around my belly button) look awesome and flat. The scar is very low and straight. Will write more when the swelling goes down and I can jump for joy, literally! can give a difinitive review on the lower but, so far, so good.
