Hello, I'm leeanne. You replied to my post about my armpit lump.

When I saw my doctor about my lump. She told me bad things don't disappear. So the fact that your wife's nail regrew is fab and things looking better on there own is good. 

My dad was diagnosed with melanoma in his face. It started as what looked like a wart.... Under his eye. It got bigger and bigger... But not huge.... To the size of a normal wart. The grow was slow and gradual. We were told it was an insect sting to begin with. Most likely an infected wasp sting. As months past it started to create a dip in the middle....... Like a Yorkshire pudding and it started to oooz. Eventually a biopsy was done and it was around 5 weeks for result. Unfortunately he had melonoma and it had now eaten at his eye and they were unable to save it. He had surgery were they removed not only the eye but the socket and surrounding bone. He then had metal plates put in along with magnetics to hold a future prosthetic. 10 years on he's laughing and smiling. Living his best life and calls himself pappa pirate.

My 5 year old last Christmas wouldn't eat his vegetables..... My dad said.... You know why pappa pirate is a pirate..... My son said no. He said because I didn't eat all my vegetables. My son laughed and said my eye won't fall out because I don't eat vegetables. And pappa pirate said it will...... He said watch...... He pretend to sneeze and hit the back of his head at the same time and the prosthetic eye came out. My son nearly chocked with the amount on vegetables he threw in his mouth lol it's took a lot of strength and determination to get were he is. But he's hear! 

It was a long hard journey for us all. But it's not the end. 

Along these 10 years he's found about 5 new lumps and they have all been removed and biopsyed and the 5/6 week wait starts all over again. And each and every time noone gave us a straight answer. They can't. They don't know the out come. And every time we go for results it's always in person. So please don't think that all of the wait and no solid awnsers means bad news! It doesn't.

And if it is not so good news. Itl be hard yes..... But it's not impossible. And the doctors and cancer staff are amazing. 

My dad prosthetic eye is absolutely amazing. He gets a new one made each year because your skin color changes. And yes you can see its a prosthetic. But only because its big enough to cover his full socket. But the eye and the detail is unbelievable. 

Think positively!

If you need to chat. I'm a fab listener 

I wish you and your wife the best outcome. ️

I hope this also awnsers your question on your other post.
