Hello Ed, no I agree, don't give up your screen name. It's ok. Take for instance my screen name (Twilight Princess) that's a Zelda/Link VIDEO game - LOL!
I don't understand why no one has answered you either, but maybe these people don't know about melanoma's that's why you didn't get a response yet.
I should email you and tell you the latest on my new prescription and the awful side effects I've been having - at least get your mind off of your pain for a little while anyway. Go watch TV and keep the foot elevated maybe that would help with the pain?
Take care and speak soon :)
Kathy
thank you -
Im not giving up the good fight, but giving up the screen name - at first thought it was funny, but now I can see it wasnt and isnt funny at all..
I will seek to change it soon !
the recovery is very slow , but it is healing up - my big problem is walking with crutches and not falling down ! as I lost it day before yesterday ! turns out the hospital gave me a set of alum crutches (made in china) lol - figures dont it ! the left wing nut on the handle got loose and fell out ! thus the handle gave way and down I went !!
My daily Nurse said im ok, that it just hurts and slows the healing process down a bit. when I fall or jar the area..
Im going to buy a new set of wood crutches from Oak ! and have them adjusted , they are heavy but do a better job than do the alum types.
plus they are made here in the u.s.a. and not china !!
well oncologest on monday for a review - and we go from there.. on the healing process ! and recovery.
thanks again for replying . I can always count on good friends.. and kind people who care.. thanks again Ed.
oh Ed, don't retire your name!! I'm sorry that nobody has answered your question, and although I'm not qualified to do so, I can only guess that it has to do with the nerve endings healing. When you see the doc tomorrow, ask him specifically about your worries. Write them down as you're thinking of them please..that will help.
I know the doctors on this board are hit and miss because they're so busy, and I'm sure someone will answer you soon.
I'm so glad that you're recovering, even though its a long slow and sometimes painful road. Don't give up, and try to keep your chin up! I'm pullin for ya!!

Thought I would get a responce back, but didnt ? strange about things like this !

I guess its the screen name boogernose ? or just no one knows that much about melonomas or cancer ? of this type ..
I have posted a few things before with no replys - its one of 2 things screen name or lack of knowledge to melanomas or this cancer.
