Good meetings.

Just a quick update: we had two really good meetings with surgeons yesterday as well as the procedure to remove the margins of the melanoma. Both Chris and I are feeling much better after very reassuring information from the doctors. Thank you again for your prayers and thoughts.


Hoping to be able to do a photo tour of my office sometime next week. Have a great weekend!

    Great news Ali, not sure if someone has already mentioned the "Mohs" (sp?) procedure to you, but might be worth looking into. I had it on my basal cell (not as serious) but it got ALL of the cancer out layer by layer without having to take more out then necessary.
    Heres to a speedy recovery :)

    Hi Ali! I am so happy and thankful for your news. Just a quick note to say that the same thing happened to my sister when she was expecting my nephew. It was really scary for everyone. Good news is that she is now in perfect health and my nephew is perfect at two months old! God is great. My prayers are with you and your lovely family. Be well my blogging sister. Bonnie

    You've been in my thoughts all day... since you've posted info on this subject, I had my moles checked and my daughter just had three of her's removed.
    Take care and sleep well.

    Ali,
    I haven't read your blog in the last couple of weeks, so I just saw your posts about your melanoma meetings. You are strong and brave. So are your husband. My thoughts go to you every day.
    You encouaged me to check my own moles back in May 2008. Two of them had to be removed, but happily they tested OK. I will have my moles looked over every two years, just to be on the safe side.
    You seem to have very good health care with regular meetings. I have faith they will find all melanoma in your skin and manage to remove it completely. My thoughts and love go to you often - I hope it makes a difference.
    Thank you for bringing awareness to this.
