I have added a photo below of my neck/back area. Turns out to be apx 45 stitches. I expected half a dozen til he found a bigger issue (dont look if you are squeamish !) Thats only 1 of the 3 recent ops I have had. I wont include the others, still bleeding etc - yuk.

According to the doctor, nothing stops the growth of cancer cells once they start except some chemo, sometimes etc, and some experimental drugs, sometimes, but alas, cancer is just cancer, and as everyone knows, there is NO cure for cancer although the medical industry has spent billions and billions trying to come up with a cure. I appreciate the home remedy idea etc, but it would be a BIG gamble with your life compared to having the cancer cut out.
I am of the belief that nothing stops melanoma except surgery. Thats the advice of the specialist anyway. Cutting into someone is the only option, and is usually reccommended with urgency, hence my recent ops.  

The problem with skin cancer and melanoma, is that is just burrows very deeply very quickly, and what appears to be a small spot on top, can run like a vein or a tree root off to the sides and inwards. It grows rapidly, hence why so many die each year because it is sometimes/half the time undetectable, till its too late. Anyway, hope I dont develop anymore, cause the last few came out of nowhere, even though I havent been in the sun for 20 years so to speak, and have regular checks, but these just appear or come back. Hope its over now and back to playing pinball soon.  ^^^
