cafe67 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 PSA - late last year , wife noticed a small spot appear on her left ear , never noticed it growing, it was just there. yesterday we went for a yearly check up at dermatologist- one look by him - melanoma and it’s got to come now. back to Dermatologist next Friday to confirm what type it was and if any further action needed. stay sun wise - my wife isn’t even a sun worshipper and goes to lengths to avoid getting sunburnt. 3 1 2
LogicprObe Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I had a pre-cancerous thing cut off my right ear the day after Trump got shot and I had to wear a dressing on it for two weeks! I got a lot of funny looks............... 1 5

joz Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I’m actually booked in for a check up tomorrow fingers crossed 1 1
crisis Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Good luck. I get checked every year even though the dermatologist seems to think I have good skin. Check everything! 2
LogicprObe Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Look, it's a bit of luck involved and it sounds like you got it early. My sister in law had one on her face and it was removed with radical surgery etc. They said she was clear and she died from breast cancer 5 years later. She was 38. That said, this was a long time ago so I think these days are a lot better if you keep on top of it. 1
