[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Melanoma can be deadly. Just to play devil's advocate, can you imagine the fear she lived through while going through diagnosis and figuring out if the cancer had spread, etc.?[/quote] That is very scary, but from diagnosis to end of treatment for her was probably one week. [/quote] Not true at all if you have it preliminarily diagnosed by a dermatologist, removed and biopsied, wait for the results, have a second removal to make sure you get clean margins, and then additional test to make sure it hasn't spread to lymph nodes. Plus the recovery from the removal, especially if they've done multiple rounds, can take quite a while if it's in an area that moves a lot (e.g. foot or back of shoulder), and can be painful. That can be weeks from first appointment to final all clear. [/quote]
