Beautiful Wife had the melanoma removed from her leg yesterday. She expected that she'd end up with a couple of stitches and be done. Instead, in order to take out enough of the area around the cancer, she ended up with an incision that is about 4-5 inches long. I was amazed how deep they went and what that translated into in terms of how thick it was with the skin only being a small part of the total thickness.
I had to go in the room with her after it was done since she was feeling a bit woozy after seeing her own flesh in a lab specimen container. After seeing it myself, I don't blame her at all.
She's at home today, along with her Tylenol 3, recovering from the procedure. We will get the results from that biopsy on Monday.
