This morning I had a good chunk of tissue cut out of my upper left arm, this was due to a small mole previously removed by my GP, which when tested, said small mole turned out to be a Melanoma, my first ever in seventy years. Today's excision was to cut out the mandated clear margins around and below the melanoma site. So tonight I am really feeling the pain of this removal.
Just wanted to alert everyone to be Melanoma aware, anyone can get them. I had thought spending a good part of my life in the Great White North (Canada), that i would not have to worry about them, not so.

Get your GP to have a look over your skin for any suspicious moles and don't hesitate to have any questionable ones removed for biopsy.
