Chris's Surgery Day


Early in the year, Chris found a mole on his leg that just didn't look right to him. He made an appt. with his doctor, who then sent him to a specialist. I was at work one day when he called to tell me that the specialist had cut the mole out and was going to send it to be tested. He pretty much told Chris right then that it was melanoma and further action would be needed. This would require him to see a plastic surgeon to cut more around the mole "just in case" and also to have a few lymph nodes removed to have tested to make sure the cancer had not spread.

Sponge Bob was a great comfort to Chris as he was being prepared to be put under.



This is Chris's leg post-op.


I'm happy to report that Chris's leg has healed just fine and most importantly...no more cancer!

I'm so, so glad that the doctors got all the cancer and that Chris is now fine. Thank you God!

That is a HUGE scar! But not having any cancer in your body is a trade off.
Phew!
