Well, if you have checked out my blog lately, you most likely know that I had a melanoma removed. I received the pathology report with GREAT news, CLEAN margins!
I personally know 4 people that have had melanoma removed this year. I was visiting with my dentist today and I showed him where the doctor found the melanoma. He told me about our local junior high principal. He is 44 years old and had a mole on his forearm which proved to be melanoma. This was at the beginning of this year. In just 6 weeks I was told that he has only a couple more weeks left to live and that he has lost all of his body fat.
Melanoma is DEADLY! It was a miracle that my doctor noticed the little black spot on my back. My son had his moles mapped at Huntsman Cancer institute. Pictures were taken of the moles to use as a comparison in 6 months.
Melanoma is curable! You just need to become aware and educated about melanoma. I remember having a blistering sunburn when I was 14. Most of the melanoma is caused by sunburns when we were little kids. I remember using baby oil to tan.

Nice Visit to Mayo Clinic and Scottsdale
Surprise! I was shocked when I heard my Doctor at Mayo Clinic say "you have a melanoma"! I had no idea that I even had a spot in the middle of my back. The doctor said it had not invaded the whole dermis. So, I came home to Idaho and called the Huntsmann Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. Initially, I called a local dermatologist and the nurse said the PA would most likely remove the spot. No Way! I had a friend who's doctor scraped her father's mole from his neck and he was dead in 2 months.
The reason I am posting this is I feel it was a miracle that Steven Ressler M.D., payed attention to the small spot when he was listening to my heart. The spot was flat, the size of a pencil eraser, black and had irregular boarders.
Melanoma is at an all time high in women between the ages of 25 and 35 according to Huntsmann Cancer Institute.
FORGET THE SUNBOOTH TANS! AVOID THE SUN and BE VAIN and Check Out Your Body!
It is better to be safe than sorry!
Dr. Glen Bowen at the Huntsmann Institute is the BEST and I appreciate his kindness, sense of humor and his genius! Thank You Glen Beck for introducing Jon Huntsmann to the viewing audience. I am still amazed at how wonderfully I was treated.

A Real Blessing!
Happy New Year a few weeks late. I have finally found a niche that will help others and me also. I have had so many traumatic things that have happened in my life. I recently have gone through a very painful bout of inflammatory arthritis. Mayo Clinic physicians have said that my blood tests hat indicate painful RA have returned negative. So at this time I am pain free but I am experiencing the negative side effects of prednisone. I am also taking plaquenil that should burn out the arthritis. It is wonderful to have the inflammation dissipate. Prednisone is not a long term treatment because it causes havoc on the bones and body.
