My wife is a baby of the 70's, light-skinned, red head with freckles and pretty much plastered herself with Bain de Soleil Oil, #4 - me too! She also visits her dermo twice a year. The last three seasons have seen too many cuts, freezes and Moh's to count. She went in November and only had few frozen off. Her previous Moh's sites were clear. For some reason, she went back last month, and sure as sh*t, she crossed the line into the melanoma group.
She had worked for a dermo for 5 years and knew the path she faced. No panic, just follow the plan. She will have a second surgery Wednesday with an oncologist. They will also take a sample for genetic testing to ensure she gets the best treatment available for her specific body type.
Needless to say, I now have an appointment with my dermo. It's been at least five years since I last saw him.
