Gayle, Sorry to not be able to meet you, this surgeon is a Hoosier, like I always wanted to be and am now! I am confident that the "Promised Land" is actually Indiana.

Since its intrusion in my left eye in 1988, it spread nowhere other than the liver, something the specialists are seeing, documenting and targeting. It seems that this specific form of melanoma targets the eye, then only the liver after...NO where else as other forms of melanoma. Eye to liver melanoma is a slow growing form, however as deadly as the others, but caught early can be treated and give the patient more years of life. We caught this sucker in early stages with an unrelated scan. The surgeon did not have all scans, just the one used for the biopsy (no highlight meds on it), will request all recent scans (several CT with highlight, an MRI with highlight) to determine how she will “carve” out the portion of my liver that has the melanoma cells. Surgery will be in a week or so, no big hurry, however it will SMACK this sucker, and doing the numbers, it will return (as melanoma DOES) when I’m 92 and all my doctors are retired.. BTW, the surgeon says us “skinny” guys bounce back better after surgery, she likes my skinny body, makes her work easier and my recovery a lot quicker. I will be in a “liver unit”(whatever that means) where Louise can stay, negating the need for hotel accommodations. Our furbabies will be cared for by family and friends in our absence.
