[IRB Dennie]

ick, Great news, just do what the Doc says. I only been enduring the freeze offs for years. I guess I better cover up more. Mostly form sailing the old Prindle 16, long days at the beach..
I know you will "ENDURE"

Thanks everyone! It is healing well.

Everyone has said "Not a Chance of That"!

Tracie's mom has been dealing with that .... Stuff for 50 years, they have done some radical stuff to her face, completely removed her forehead and replaced it, she just had some more work done on her face, now she goes back for more work in a couple weeks, they have done the nose thing too. She has an awesome outlook about it tho, and I think that's key, so keep up the outlook my friend !!!

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,

Fanatics are great aren't they Dick? So are you. I am real glad to see you
have a smart Dr. Thats 1/2 the battle with skin cancers.
I also had this and the skin graft was from my lower back...
I'm born and raised in Florida and its important to have a good
Dermatoligist. I am lucky to have a great one at the VA in Orlando.
VA here is proactive. Melanoma on my hand is getting cut out soon and thank goodness its not my shifting hand...LOL

It will give your face character

So . . . you'll not only be a character - now you'll look like one too!

Always love to hear good news. Still keeping you on our prayer list.

[harleygrog]

Hi Dick, Lucy and are prayers are with you. Take care and let me know if you make it to Palm Bay. I`ll have a beer or two for you even if you don`t make it this far south. Good thing your up north(Florida) were it`s cold and rainy it`s in the 80`s and sunny down south. Your one of the best and thanks for everthing, see you Daytona if Lucy say it`s ok.

My father had Melonoma on his hands and face and came through it all ok...........

Although we have never met its obvious that you have helped many people (including myself ) on this forum and our prayers are with you.

Dick,
keep up the attitude and all will be fine. Been there and done that. Melanoma near my ear but luckily it went to my jaw and not in my temple. Thats one of the reasons we moved from Florida to the Smokey Mtns and keep the top up. hope to see you in MV again this year.

Now I have you an asses mask for those topless days.

Thanks Gina, Not sure, but I think I look like that mask already.

At least I have been told that from time to time.

It is healing well, beginning to close and look like real skin again.

I will know more when I get checked but I don't intend to stop doing what I have been doing.

Hey Dick
The nose knows that sometimes we don't always see eye to eye. But I sincerely wish you a full and speedy recovery. Take care my friend and don't forget your sunscreen.
