Just back from stony brook - great hospital - to have a quarter size chuck of skin removed from under my left eye. I hope when the biopsy comes back it will show the entire melanoma is gone. Then plastic surgery.

My point is the more sun we took in growing up the more likely skin cancer will appear later in life. Those of us old enough recall using reflector shields so our skin could absorb even more rays!!!

Doctors on this site know more than I but even a layperson like me knows the earlier the cancer is caught the better. Mine was noticed at the situ or earliest stage. I go for regular dermatology appointments and even then I had to on my own point out the under the eye spot.

Sin cancer kills in part because there are few early warning signs - before the melanoma grows deeper and spreads. Mine was still superficial. Biggest pain today is the patch covering my left eye.

Enough from
Me though. UVA/UVB Sunblock, Redmen hats, sun blocking shirts...I use them all now. Maybe someone will benefit by this topic.

Any typos - not bad for one eye!

All the best!

My prayers for good news and a full and speedy recovery.
 
Most people don't realize how Melanoma can be fatal. SS&G, your message is a good one. Melanoma can become systemic. I had an uncle who had a few cysts removed that doctors felt were contained, and three years later progressed to brain cancer. So, yea, heed SS&G's advice about sunscreen and covering.

Get well soon SS&G!

Good luck.
 
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers SSG. Best wishes.
 
Wishing you all the very best General and a speedy recovery. Thank you for your great advice and hopefully we can all put on our redmen caps and avoid the harmful sun. Have a great summer general and hopefully the patch will be off soon and all will be back to normal. Get ready for November as we are in for an exciting season.

The General is a civil war buff like our esteemed trainer and he has a great sense of humor so I have a new avatar for the General while the eye patch is on.
