yes you should be careful - but beware that you do not become paranoid. I have
melanoma IV and have just (against the odds) had my cancers reduced by circa 50%
- and I hope next month to go on an immunology trial - with maybe a 10% chance
of success - scary.

But - I am working and living my life to the full - but I am really looking
after my health - diet is so critical

Be careful - but you probably have long lives ahead of you - but if you become
over-stressed - your immune system will suffer - and that itself can help those
rogue cancer cells take hold.

Love and healing

Ian

PS - the body can destroy cancer cells - but your immune system has to be in
good condition

Dear fight together members:
With summer upon us for most of our members here, it is a good time to remind
everyone to stock up on sun block.  If you love being outdoors as much as I do,
it is always a good idea to have some on hand.  Even when you think it is cloudy
outside, the damaging UV rays can and will get through to your skin.  So enjoy
your summer and look for your favorite sunblock at your favorite store.
Happy Summer!  Angela ^i^

Amy & Paula

do not get stressed out about it - you have had a small superficial cancer and
you have had it taken off - so it is probable that you will be OK for a very
long time.

When I first was where you are today - I heard that the body has the capability
to cure itself from cancers - but it needs to be in very good condition - so
take this as a wake-up call to improve your diet, reduce stress and generally
get fitter

But do what the medics say

Love and healing

Ian

   Hi Paula and everyone,

   I am new to the list too, and thought this would be a good time to
   introduce myself. Paula, I was also recently dignosed with malignant
   melanona originating from a mole. I did exactly what your
   dermatologist recommended that you do: got myself to a plastic
   surgeon and had the cancer and surrounding area removed. Mine was
   contained in the tissue that was removed, but it sure was scary
   waiting to hear back from the lab. I think the scarier part is
   looking at all the other freckles and moles I have and wondering
   which one is/ is going to be cancerous next. It seems that every time
   I have a spot biopsied, it is dysplastic. With my history, the
   recommendation is always to have the area excised. The melanoma was
   removed three months ago, but since then, I have had six more moles
   excised and stitched up. It IS overwhelming and a lot to take in.

I had the same 12 years ago - they told me I had 19 chances in 20 that I would
be alive in 5 years - it came back last year - I am now battling stage IV.

Do what they say - help them get an early appointment to have more skin removed
- asap

then take a look at your life - maybe you have been racing your body too much

diet is important - make sure you take fruit and veg regularly

Love and healing

Dear Paula
Welcome to the group.  I know this is probably freaking you out, but try not to
feel alarmed and be glad that the doctor caught this early.  Here is a bigt hug 
(((((((())))))))  Just know that I am here and I care, because I have been
through this with a husband, and I have seen every stage of it, and learned from
the mistakes we made.  I know that you do not want to think about the what if's,
but there are some things that you NEED to know.
   First of all you are doing the right thing by getting this seen about.  By all
mens do not put it off.  With Melanoma especially, time is the enemy.  Second of
all, after the operation, be sure that you are scheduled to have regular check
ups to be looked over very well.  I mean every 3 months for the next 5 to 7
years at least.  This is to ensure that even the slightest thing will be
detected.  The doctor should feel all of your lymph nodes to make sure there is
not any abnormal swelling because it can get into the lymph system in some
cases, and you should be looked at from head to foot to make sure there are no
places on your skin that resemble Melanoma.  If your doctor does not see this as
a necessity, it is time to find a new doctor, because these are the necessary
steps to reduce the likelihood of allowing it to progress it if ever did return.
Don't get upset, because it does not necessarily mean that it will, but it
might, so you need to take every precaution with your life.  Do whatever it
takes.
Paula, I will be praying for you that all goes well with your operation, and for
your peace of mind as well.  Be sure to check the "links" pages.  There is some
informative websites available there.  If you have any more questions we are
right here.
Your friend,  Angela ^i^

me that one of the moles that they removed was Malanoma.. He told me

Thank you for the link to a cancer treatment alternative.  However, it is my
hope that you stick around and share more information about cancers and go more
into depth about actual testimonials.  As a rule I do not allow people to post
who are "just in business".  Please tell us more if you are serious about this
being able to help people treat their cancer.

Heidi,
Hi and welcome.  I too have a history of burning and skin cancer.  I have had
surgery twice for skin cancer, and mine came back.

Anyway, there is an alternative to surgery and for me, it has worked 100%.  It
has a success rate of 99.9% and honestly,  everyone I know that has tried it, it
has worked wonderfully.  It's called Cansemal.  The site that sells it is this:


http://health.centreforce.com/health/wendytest.html

It's called the Cansemal Black Salve

Let me know if you have any further questions.

A little background, yes? ;-) When I was 16 I got fried to  a crisp
at the beach, my whole body was one huge blister and since then, I
NEVER sun-bathed again and always wore sunscreen. I am light-skinned
with blue eyes so I suppose I am more prone to bad things from a lot
of sunlight. Anyway, now, some 28 years later (ouch!) I have got this
skin cancer business. First I had one on the side of my nose close
which a dermatologist said was just an oil gland problem and removed
it, a year later it returned and now I am having it removed (it was
positive for basel cell) by a plastic surgeon since it is on my face
and being the vain person that I am, want as little scarring as
possible. He said it should look good even though I will have
stitches, he is doing something called a Y or V reconstruction with
skin. Bleh, I am bringing a plastic bag with holes for eyes to the
surgery and I will come home as the partially un-known comic. Surgery
is April 2nd, just in time for the Easter Bunny.

Then last week I went back to my dermatologist (poor man having me
for a patient) and was supposed to have what he thought was a basel
cell removed from my arm. When I told him it used to look exactly
like the small beauty mark below it he decided to biopsy it first. I
whined of course and said just take it off and he said no because I
told him that it used to look like the one below but it no longer
looks that now does it. Smart aleck, I told him oh come be a little
more condescending please. Just joking, sorta ;-) I said is it
Melanoma and he said now, now let's just wait until the biopsy comes
back. I replied with a "Yes Dad". I do like my dermatologist as he is
very thorough about stuff and sends the biopsies to the best place in
town. So now I am waiting to hear on that.

So that is my story, I guess when it is all over with these 2 I will
have my whole body checked out for any other little things that
shouldn't be there.

I am trying to be cheerful about my face, it ain't easy since I
always prided myself in taking care of myself and doing pretty good
for 44..sigh. I am not really that vain, I do have to work at
it..LOL! I guess surgery is the best thing. I don't know of any other
treatments that would do the job any better.

I love to garden and won't stop, just keep pouring on the number 50
sunscreen and hats and uv clothing and do it early or late. I still
love the sun and warmth, not the suns fault I was an idiot when I was
a teen. ;-)

Okay, I have blabbed on enough abotu myself,

It does seem far fetched, you're right.   But, then again, I sit here and think
what about the people who ate mold and cured their infection (penicillin)

Or deathly allergic to bees...and then injecting that bee serum into your system
so that you become immune.

Hi,
     Got a copy of my CTScan yesterday and talked with the doctor and he wants to
follow up with a MRI,and some other tests. Possibly a Liver biopsy and a
endoscope
This was done with any contrast as I'm allergic to Iodine solutions.   He took
me off the two antiobiotics I WAS on and gave me a couple shots and took more
blood tests.   He did put me on Doxycycl HYC  500 mgs twice a day as he is
afraid to keep me off antiobiotics totally because I still have the "mysterious
rash" plus NOW I apparently have a severe vaginal yeast infection DUE to all the
antiobiotics I've been on since the first week of December,2003.   He also
wanted me to get Diflucan 200mgs and take one a day for 30 days --BUT they cost
$400.00 and there was NO way I could afford that!!    So picked up some Monistat
7 OTC and am using that.   I've NEVER had a Yeast Infection and was on
Penicillin for years due to having Rheumatic Fever as a child and was on
Vacomycin IV'S for six months when I had MRSA in 1994!!
    The following is what the report says so far--if you have any idea what some
of these bigger words mean--please let me know as I've been looking on the
internet but haven't found them all yet!!    Thanks

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Procedure--CT of Abdomen and Pelvis without Contrast [except administration
of oral contrast only]

            There is minimal dependent atelactasis at the right lung base

              There are multiple low attenuation heptic lesions in the right
heptic lobe. These are substantially more dense than simple cysts
and more further evaluations is required.

              There are numerous calcified spenic granulomas,consistent with a
history of Granulomatous Disease

                There is a Hiatal Hernia. The Gastric wall appears somewhat
thickened and further evaluation is required

                 Some mural calcifications are seen in the abdominal Aorta and
further evaluations are required


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     For now this is all I have back so keep me in prayers as the doctor has
already stated that IF this last routine of antiobiotics don't work--I'm
hospital bound for inpatient tests and liquid IV Antiobiotics

      Have a great weekend

I have had a guy advertizing that very thing on this group and I removed it as
spam.  I would be extremely careful.  These kinds of salesmen are not concerned
about you, they are out to pad their own pockets.  It is up to you, but I would
think long and hard about it first.

   Hi! I'm new here at this group and it seems like you have members are
   professionals and knowledgeable. I was wondering to see if anyone in
   this group has "personal experience" in senior life settlement. I
   have been researching the Internet about it. It seems OK to me but I
   figured, before I commit, I need to talk to someone with personal
   experience in senior life settlement.

   There is a company here in Idaho, Progressive-Life.com, who buys
   different kinds of life insurance policies. I am thinking about
   selling my life insurance policy to them to pay for medical expenses
   and to leave something to my family (just in case). I don't want to
   do mortgage our house 'cause I don't want to leave my love ones with
   bills in the event I pass away. They are offering more than the
   accelerated benefits my insurance carrier is offering me. Personally,
   and based on what I have seen so far, I think senior life settlement
   is good for me BUT I need a second opinion from someone who really
   had an experience selling their life insurance policy.

   Any input, comments, and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
   Thank you in advance.

John

I would be VERY CAREFUL - these sort of things generally sound and look good but
you have to read an understand the entire detail of the paperwork  - if you do,
you will probably find it is not what the salesman says!!!!!!!!!

An alternative, which may be considerably easier to understand, is speaking with
a bank and retaining the policies but borrowing using the policies as security.
Have you spoken with you bank yet?

in any event, get the paperwork and deal with a lawyer - someone you know and
trust who is not in a position to receive any benefit from the deal proposed.

good luck

Ian

Hi,
     I called the urologist office this morning concerning my reports on my
CTScans and further blood work. The nurse told me she'd have "the doctor himself
call me back"
The doctor called about a hour later and had already faxed my reports to the
referring doctor BUT he was waiting for some blood work yet to come in. As of
today he knew that I have "growing lesions on my liver and kidneys" and wants to
do a MRI and a Cystoscope [sp] next to check out the interior of my Bladder.  I
am to see him and the referring doctor next week and as soon as they have
everything "set up and scheduled" they will let me know.   I asked him why I'm
"so sore always" and he said that's why he wants to do a cytoscope and a MRI as
without the iodine solution they just didn't get good clear pictures.    He then
hung up with "keep pushing fluids and I'll call you when we're all done setting
this up"
      We then left to go see "The Passion Of The Christ"  and upon returning home
I had a message on my answering machine to please call him when I got in. Tried
to call the office and left a message when no one answered and tried calling his
home number but got no answer there except a series of beeps.   So guess I'll be
waiting till Monday to be able to contact him!!

Ronda,
Does this mean you are in remission right now?  I am glad to hear that you are
off of meds.  It sounds like good news.  I hope that you are keeping an eye on
it though.
Your friend,  Angela ^i^

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Jaran, im Ronda How are you doing?  Have you gone to the dr yet?  I
let what i thought was an ulcer on my tongue for a few years, and one
day it started draining a bitter taste in my mouth and i went to the
dentist to have my teeth cleaned and told the dentist about the
bitterness that i had experienced and he immeditely sent me to see a
oral surgeon  he did biopsy and got the results back showing that i
had squamous cell carcinoma.  i was 36 at the time thats been almost
2years this july.  I had surgery, and was on accutane for a while .
so far so good.  i no longer take the meds.  Please dont wait too
long before you go to the dr.  ok.  Try getting in touch with the
american cancer society.  They may be able to help.  Tell them your
situation.  About the insurance.  Please dont wait.  I had a slice
taken off my tongue and 5 lymph nodes taken out of my neck.  Let me
know what happens.   I will be  praying for you.   Ronda Lovett

I've heard some black salves are not as good as others.  Do a search
on Cansemal and all of the testimonials.  I saw it on ebay for
$20.00.  I would get the best and also then have the doctor do a
biopsy to make sure it's gone.  You don't want to delay.

But in any case it is a matter not to be taken lightly.  Be sure to
read over everything he gives you very carefully.  If it is an
option you would desire trying, Reverend John can make up the black
salve at cost only.  Not to profit but just cover the cost of
ingredients.  You can contact him directly if you choose....
