Derm nurse here. I’ve seen horrible deaths as young as 15 up to 80. Maybe an association with pancreatic ca. so sorry. I hope you don’t suffer. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you. Who found this ? Sneaky lil bastard. I’m 50 and had a shallow one at 23. Pink. No pigment at all. ♥️♥️♥️🌹🙏🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Kitty how are you doing now 10 months on. It’s April 2024 when I write this. The cold plunge - Wim Hoff is well known for wellbeing. I wish you a recovery that allows you to complete your bucket list - make it a long list please. 🙏🙏❤️

my dad has been diagnosed with melanoma 2 weeks ago, its 2.4mm deep with no ulceration and no angioinvasion which i guess is a good sign, however it has a relatively high metastatic rate, we already established that it hasnt spread to the lungs and abdomen, however the day after tomorrow ill get the call from my mom whether it has spread to the brain or the lymph nodes, I am only 21 and have no siblings, or any close family except for my parents, my dad was the one who raised me so he is the closest person to me, i feel devastated and absolotely collapsing since i study abroad and i feel very isolated from my parents i still have a bit of hope that the cancer hasnt spread I will know soon but i am very afraid of that day I have plenty of assignemnts right now and i dont know if im up to it, i want to be strong for my dad but its really hard i dont know how, I hope you will live in good health years and spend great time with your family still, much love for you and your family, I also never seen my father weak and he is still completely symptomless but if he starts weakening i dont know if i am ready to see him suffer i dont want him to suffer i want him to be happy ❤

So how did the call re your father go ?? You can always study back home - be there for mum and dad if it was a late stage melanoma that has spread. You won’t regret being there and being home ❤️❤️🙏🙏
