Wow, that is an amazing story Celia. Very glad Paul is doing well. Both my wife and I are cancer survivors, and help can come from the most unlikely of sources sometimes. Thank you for sharing your story.

Paul and Celia - so sorry you had to go through this. Hope it is all behind you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Unfortunately, from where I sit - 2013 has not been a good health year for men. Please everyone, keep up with the checkups!

Good luck to R-Guy! Glad it was caught early and hope and pray that he is the given the "all clear" sign when tests are complete.

Good luck!

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.

Thanks for sharing! We went through this with our daughter 10+ years ago and it was an extremely scary and stressful time for all of us...but, like with Paul, it was caught early enough and she has had a clean bill of health ever since! Glad to hear that all is well now!
