Just a lil info... (50)
kitty01: Glad you did not wait any longer before you went and had it checked. A lot of us fear going to the doctor in case it is cancer, but now from you we see how not waiting too long turns out the best.
Get well, and speedy recovery.

Yeah I waited way to long, knowing I should be going and it was the fear that it would be something serious. My waiting didnt change the outcome, just made it a bigger cut..
thanks for the well wishes..

haha thanks riya...
I had cried alot the days after i talked to you and before the actual surgery. I kept tellin myself its "only" skin cancer, the spot isnt that big, I caught it on time...but it didnt really help much, not when I have 3 kids to raise alone and need to make sure there ok. And watching them worry was hard. I tried not to tell them much in the begining, but the last couple days I talked with my older ones.
Plus inbetween the surgeries was when we were moving, at least it kept my mind busy.
thanks for all your talks riya and your prayers, I couldnt of asked for any more from a friend.

blue_eyed_blonde: I really wasn't gonna post about this, but I decided maybe it could be a benefit to someone out there.
About a month ago, I finally went to my doctor about a funny looking mole I had on my thigh. He removed it and sent it to a pathologist who confirmed it was malignant melanoma...grrrr!
Last Wed., I had surgery to take out extra tissue to make sure they got all the cancer out. I got the news Friday that there was no cancer cells in the tissue they removed..so I'm blessed. They took out a section 2 inches by 7.5 inches, and went 2 inches deep. It hurts and I'm not always in the best of moods, but again am thankful that they got it all.
Not sure why I got it...if it was from all the years of tanning and fake baking or if it was just a fluke. For whatever reason, I got it and it was a very scary situation.
Just in case any of you think sometime just isn't right about yourself or if you think a harmless "mole" isn't a big deal...learn from me, I waited a year before I went to the doctor...be smarter then me and get things checked out sooner...
My best to you all...
Yes there is a connection with tanning beds and skin cancer
I found an article
Increased use of tanning beds plays a role in growing rate of skin cancer.
Just say No!
I know that it does cause moles, I had a girl friend that used to go to tanning beds,and she got lots of moles,and had to have them removed.
I glad that you are okay. I hope all is well with you. Nice to see you post again.
and to those of you who knew about my situation, thanks so much for all the prayers and positive thoughts that you sent my way...I'm very blessed..

Trudy I am so glad to hear your GOOD report!!!
Be sure to include lots of raw fruits and veggies in your diet and drink Green Tea!
Vitamin C and Green Tea contain very high amounts of anti-oxitants which rid the system of free radicals which cause cancer cells to form!
So glad to hear you are alright. Now you and your children can relax while you continue to heal.
All my love to you girl!
You are truely BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED!!!
