Also how was the surgery? Did they get it all. Is the success rate of this one good?? It is located on my shoulder.
Stage 1 means it hasn't spread to your lymph nodes. Hopefully you are having this surgically removed. When it's shaved they cut through it and cancer can remain or worse it cannot be measured. The surgery is fairly simple and Recovery almost within hours. It is extremely important that you are monitored. Any mole that itches, is larger the the head of a pencil, cannot be divided in half with equal sides, is discolored or black, or bleeds should be removed. The sooner a cancer is removed the better your chances for complete recovery. Check out mdanderson.com for more information. God bless you and keep you safe. This is a very scary cancer!
