Hi Rose and the Lantern Gang,
Carolyn will undergo surgery tomorrow for the removal of a Melanoma
on her back.
All blood work, XRay and EKG..showed normal..so we are
optimistic.....
Please keep her in your prayers as we need all the help we can get
for something like this...
Will advise you when it's over....with hopefully good
news....
It's not really a mole...it's circular lesion that she has had for
along time. It has never changed but we are beyond the Dermotologist now. The
Dermo doctor sent us to the UConn Medical Center after the biopsy determined it
was a Melanoma and cancerous but on a low grade at the moment.
She went also went back to the Dermotologist for a full body scan for
anything suspicious and that went OK It was an EKG for some reason besides the
XRay and blood work.
However the medical center took all of the above tests and we spoke with
the surgeon who was most confident that it has not spread and this will be a one
day procedure.
We are hoping all of what he said rings true and if you can ask our Lantern
friends to help us with prayers that would be a relief and a great comfort. Im
sure Carolyn will feel better with more support.
Thanks to you and all of our friends on the Lantern.
God Bless, Sal Carmosino
To Carolyn,
Hugs, Rose and the Lantern Gang!
Sal, I already have my rosary beads out and praying for Carolyn. Please keep us posted. You know you can count on our gang for prayers and support. Hugs, Rose

Please let Sal know our prayers and thought are with him and Carolyn. It is never easy to go thru this but the doctors do have a firm grip on melanoma when they catch it early and it sounds like they caught Carolyn's early.
I am afraid we all spent too many days at Revere Beach in our younger days when melanoma was not as well know as it is today.
God Bless!

ReplyDeleteRose,
Some good news today. The hospital called today
to advise that the Lab test showed negative and that
they got all of the Cancer....a big relief. Sal
Now we have to wait the result from her Ct Scan
about her kidneys that the Ultra Sound didnt show.
So we are half way there........still holding our
breaths...but the Cancer thing is a biggie and
that was our biggest concern..........
