It's lovely to hear some good news here because weve had a lot of sadness on the site this year
Congratulations!Originally Posted by flisssweetpea
Four years ago this very month, I had a mole removed from my back. Then, I had the wait until the results came through. I got those at the beginning of January 2005 (the day before our beautiful Lily came home to us). It turned out that the mole was cancerous. It was a malignant melanoma. My world turned upside down in an instant.
I had plastic surgery to ensure there was no cancer left and have had four years of (in the words of my Consultant) being stared at and prodded every few monthsto make sure that nothing nasty came back. I was very fortunate not to need any further treatment.
Well, I've been counting off the visits - I thought I would have two more left. Today, I went for my examination and the Dr talked with the Consultant. Things have been so good and I caught the cancer early, so they are as sure as sure can be that it will NOT come back
Today, I was officially declared cancer free, discharged from the Dr and do not need to be stared at and prodded anymore!!!!!!!!!
That is wonderful news! Congratulations on being cancer free

Hubby and I opened a bottle that had been chilling in the fridge since our holiday to France in the summer. We had visited the Noilly Prat Vermouth distillery in Marseillan and brought back a bottle of their Amber vermouth.Originally Posted by Rosiemac

We had been saving it for Christmas, but thought that the occasion merited an early opening
You're right, Susan, there has been a lot of sadness around. It's good to be able to bring some cheer

It's going to be FANTASTIC not to have to be prodded and stared at every couple of months. I'm very grateful for all the care the Drs took, but won't miss those examinationsOriginally Posted by CATTYBIRD

Now PLEASE don't become complacent. When you go for your 'yearly', please get checked out. Melanoma is a sneaky one, and you need to stay vigilant!
Have a glass of wine for me too!!!

Thank you John and Cindy - I am THRILLED!
Oh believe me, no danger of me being complacent - but it is a warning well worth giving. I am one of those strange skin cancer patients who didn't sunbathe
I also seem to produce melanin very very easily - hubby jokes that the sun only has to come out and I can tan inside the house. I have always used sunscreen, don't sunbathe and use sunglasses and a hat. I don't even use those creams that give a false tan - anything that stimulates melanin production seems like a dodgy idea for my skin
Thank you Kelly!Originally Posted by clixpix
That's fantastic news Beth! Congratulations!
That is fantastic news!
But I must warn you that with cats, you probably will still be poked, prodded, and stared at!
