melanoma free!!! (at least in one spot)

got the call from the dermatologist today... he removed ALL the melanoma from my left calf.

i thought i'd add a few photos of the scar, thus far. note all the little red dots are where the 150 +/- novicane shots went in.

the last picture i know is blurry, but that is just to show the indent left in my leg. the picture really doesn't show it that well. one day, i'll show you my scar!!!

  1. If those pictures don't encourage us (me especially) to remain in the shade with sunblock on, nothing will! That is one rough looking scar but it will get better.

  2. That's great news.

    Yeah...even taking one small little blotch off my calf left a small hole.

    Scary!

  3. Words cannot describe the relief that phone call brought to me!

    And E, at least you don't have a small hole on your face and leg like me. By the way, those spots came back benign.

    Thought I'd share that here since I'm on blog hiatus while work swallows me whole. My blogs are like stories and take too much time. Time I don't have.
