Mr tis had a melanoma too. He had something bothering him on his back and I had an appt at the dermatologist, so I told him I would try to get him in with me. We went and his back was fine but the dr. found a melanoma on his shoulder. He has to go every three months for 5 years and be checked by an oncologist, though it had not spread. He doesn't have the precancerous and squamous cells that I seem to have so he didn't have to go every three months like I do. I am so happy for that cyst on his back, otherwise he might not have gone in time. Some things are just meant to be. I can tell you we were pretty nervous for a while though.
