Have Melanoma Cancer

[Dicktator]

Doc said I have gone from the Basil Cell to Melanoma!

They have been cutting my nose off, one piece and one day at a time.

Went in, they cut, Test, go back, cut, go back today to have skin graft. Not sure where they want to get that from.

Have a "Jimmy Durante" Nose now.

They said "Do Not Get the Bandage Wet".

So, when I shower, Kathy puts a dry cleaning bag over my head, good thing she doesn't tie it!

She wanted too!!

Doc gave me a prescription so I can drive my SSR with the top down!!

This prescription guaranties no melanoma cancer!

Dicktator
I look better too!

1. Jimmy Durante Nose, I list to one side with all the bandages
2. Prescription for driving R with top down.

Susan and I send our prayers to you . But you stll look good with or without the pail.

[RSSRTOY]

Sorry to find you having to battle that. We don't care what the nose turns out like, it's your spirit we love! Anyhow the R's look bitchin' with the top up as well.

[Bondo Princess]

Dick..........Only YOU, can take this negative news and turn it into something funny.............love your great sense of humor! You need to add some SSR decor to your new driving helmet. Take care!

Your sense of humor will see you through this "new nose job".

God bless and you are in my prayers.

[quick silver]

WELL, YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE PINOCCHIO!! HE COULD NEVER WEAR THAT HAT WITH HIS NOSE..... BUT, LIKE HIM, YOU COULD STILL PUT A FEATHER IN IT!!
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU - AND YOUR GREAT "NURSE KATHY!"
HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT

A Bunch of this will make it All Well Again

BTW: Clean Up your Act
GET A CLEAN BUCKET


Your Friend

[El Donovan]

Keeping your sense of humor is half the battle. Our friend had the same type of melanoma on her nose and to-day you would never know it. So best of Luck.

Dicktator, you've got a great attitude, and that is one of the best ways to take on this or any challenge!

[Greg Ducato]

Hope you heal up fast Dick, it is a shame to hide such a beautiful man under such an ugly bucket

[ibjeff]

Take care and keep the great attitude Laughter and humor are the best medicine

With those extra holes in your head you should create a really nice whistle when you're driving down the road with the top down.

That said, on a more serious note, I keep a tube of Neutrogena broad-spectrum SPF 100+ in my truck. When I go out with the top-downg, I put it all over my face, nose and the tops of Ears Yeah, up on my four head too.

Dictators pointed out a very important lesson for us all. When you put the top down, you're more susceptible to burning your face and your head.

While it's fun to laugh and make jokes about it, it's a very serious situation. Don't take chances with your health.

It's unfortunate, but it's an important reminder for us all. Dictator I'm sorry this is happened to you, I'll pray for your quick recovery.

Dick, knowing you the way we do you will come up with a fix for this!!! Keep up the positive attitude and you can whip this thing!! See you in March

[turnheadz]

sorry to hear about the melanoma. My dermatologist told me a week ago that I don't have it. Remember; you can pick your friends but don't pick your nose

[tinyssnowplows]

Dick, take care and get better fast. Walter

[YESSSR]

You are a gem.. Hope all goes well for you. My Mom suffers from the same malady and it has taken about 4 years to get it right but they did. Hoping the same for you!

You are not alone, Dicktator.
I'm a Colon Cancer survivor after several treatments and 2 surgeries.

We do NOT give up!! I'm new here but I think maybe there are more of us here than you think....there IS support all around you.

HOLD ON, We can still have fun!!

Well, Good News! They got all the Cancer, at least for now, back in six weeks for checkup.

Decided not to use “Skin Blowout Patch”, get it “Nose Blowout Patch”. Never mind.

Doc said to use lots of plain Vaseline to keep the area moist. I told Doc I don't own a Plane but I would find some.

Antibiotic for the next 14 days which I will take with Capt’ Morgan, got to wash it down with something.

Doc said “No Patch” will leave a scar but I figure that I’m under the Hood, under the Dash, under the SSR or under the covers. (Not going to tell what I am doing under the covers) so no one will notice.

Before you ask, YES, under the covers, if I didn’t have “Hardening of the Arteries” I wouldn’t have any sex at all.

So, Florida Chapter Fanatics, guess you will be stuck with me for a while.

THANKS TO SSR FANATICS EVERYWHERE!!

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

Couple of Pictures so you will know me in the future.

yahoooo
I think What did you just say?

[shakemyhand]

Dick you have one of the greatest attitudes of anyone I know, only you could come up with the shower bucket. I'm surprised that with all of your talents that you did'nt fix your nose yourself. I'm glad to hear that your cancer free. Keep up the humor, we love it.

[James Dean]

Keep up the great attitude , good news that they got it all.

[DOOPHUS]

Big Ole Bummer, Dicktator . . . GOOD LUCK and listen to the doctor.

[LTs SSR]

Luv Ya Darlin!! Thrilled they got it all!!

That's good to hear.

[TLC5 in CT]

I had the same type of surgery a couple of years ago and all is well now to the best of my knowledge. I love your sense of humor and wish you a full and speedy recover.

[FloRidah]

Hi Dick,

Sounds to me like you have things pretty well under control. You make a good case for us old guys to visit a dermatologist regularly.

For a minute I was worried after I read your first post and started scrolling down. I was afraid you might have to go for chemo and lose your hair or something.... Then I read the update and breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did they get the melanoma, but likely you won't be snoring any time soon.

Hope to see you soon,

Dennis & Jo
