Ouch!

I hope that this will be operable and you will be ok. Too many years of sunbathing or tanning beds?
Glad you are jumping on this quickly and getting it taken care of. I know a guy who had it on his shoulder blade and he got it cut out - never did follow up with his scans or get any treatments though, did not understand why. He was sure lucky it never jumped back on him. Hope you don't need treatment and just follow-up scans.
You take care and hug those kids for me:)

Christine,
I hope they cut it out and you're done with it. What a bummer to hear the C word again. Hope it's out and over soon.
Aloha,

Thanks everyone! I will know more next week when I talk with the doctor. I will have a pretty deep scar and a month recovery. I have been feeling really good the past three months and that is great. The one on my chest was benign and my arm was a-typical. Yes, Craig, from tanning I am sure. I will be 43, lived in California, I haven't tanned in ten years and always lather up with sunscreen. I suppose I didn't expect to get off scott free with all the tanning I did. Colon cancer threw me for a loop though. I don't think they know how you get it. I have been a vegetarian my entire life, since birth, not even fish or chicken and juiced daily since I was a teen. Anyway, what a blessing the growths on my chest amd arm were bothering me because I wouldn't of gone for my back, as it wasn't bothering me although I did notice it had doubled in size.
Thanks again everyone. I am surprised to her from you Craig, how are you feeling?
