Welcome Wrangler. I had melanoma in 1980, they did a "deep wide excission" that left a scar about 5 inches long and three inches wide on my left upper arm where they did the skin graft. Took all the tissue down to the muscle.It's beatable, a good mental attitude really helps. I never doubted for a second that I was going to survive. Good luck man.

Wrangler...sorry about the battle you have raging with Skin Cancer but I like the odds of 50/50. IN my world, in our world that is a sure "W". Hang in there, Ill pass one up to GRITS and see if he wont tip the scale for you.
IN the interim, hang around and keep us posted. If I was facing the reaper, these are the guys I would want cheering me on. No fakes, no ahh, too bad's....just man up and fight. You will like it here. Drive on.

Goon, thank you, yes I have been going to M.U.S.C. as well as side visits to Moncrief, at Ft. Jackson, if I ever need a place to rest my head I will be sure to contact you, as I'm sure you'd do the same if my cousin Sean was still around{he was killed in Iraq last month, he was a Marine}: Ranger Slowpoke, my "SPOT" is about 4-1/2 inches long and is over 5mm, it has progressed because it resides on top of a vein, doc says he "can't" and "won't" cut it off, he's hopin' that the chemo will kill it, I'm just wondering if the chemo's killin' the cancer or me: Ranger Abell9, thank you for your words of support, and everyone else, means alot to me, thank you for pass'n it up to GRITS,: Ranger Steadfast, Yes I've finally made it here, thank you for the welcome, glad to see we're "ALL" still keepin' it FREE!

Welcome. I also entered the Army during the Carter Administration. Those where some dark days for our beloved Army. Thank God for President Reagan!

I was born during the Carter administration....

This just in, the cancer I have on my leg, seems to be checking out and leaving the premises. it went from 5mm, to just under 3mm, and the doc says thats a helluva improvement. Thanks for the prayers all, it seems to be working out well.
