Update

Last Thursday I went back to the  doctor for my post surgery check-up I was hoping for some news good news. I got news but it wasn't the news I wanted to hear. The test results came back with a couple of cancer cells in one of the lymph nodes and it the margins of the melanoma were positive. So now they will take all this information to the melanoma tumor board to see what the next course of treatment will be. It was difficult news to hear. That afternoon after my doctors appointment I started getting sick. I was really cold and couldn't get warm and I was in a lot of pain and couldn't eat. I finally decided to have Mike take me  to emergency. I had an infection inside where they took the lymph nodes out so now I'm trying to recover from that. The wait is on to hear from the doctor after the tumor board meets either this Thursday or next.

Surgery

Done with surgery, so they removed the Melanoma on my anus and then they removed a lymph node. All of the all of that will go to pathology and I will find out more then. Surgery went well and I have very little pain. I am so thankful for good doctors. I will wright again when I have the answers next week.
