[QUOTE="foghorn918, post: 3332836, member: 11059"] Rick, I had mine cut out about 1995, first just a small area cut out and tested, then when it tested malignant I had to go back to a surgeon who removed a much larger area about 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long and down to the muscle on my back, if I remember correctly. It was strange seeing that hunk of meat that they took, kind of football shaped. Luckily mine had not gone too deep into the skin layers to be bad for me, but could have been if not taken care of. For the next few years I had regular follow ups with dermatologist and chest x-rays. Hopefully your wife's will be no more than mine and is a normal procedure for her. I wish her the best during this time and will say a prayer for her and medical professionals treating her. [/QUOTE]
