Lisa Update

Not sure if everyone knew what was going on but Lisa's biopsy of a skin lesion tested positive for melanoma. She went in today to have a larger area removed, she is home and pretty sore (it was on her stomach) but is doing fine. It was caught very early and did not appear to be deep. After they test it to make sure they got enough of it that might be the end of it, except regular screening. Melanoma is very bad and not curable once it spreads to the lymph nodes, get checked and stay out the sun. I watched them take it out, the area is about the size of silver dollar and over an inch deep - kinda gruesome. Anyway we hope this is the end of it, we are glad she went in for a screening.
