Melanoma Surgery – Day 38

Hey, Monkey Potter here… I just wanted to update everyone on my facial scar.

I visited the Moffit Cancer Center last week for a follow up visit with the surgeon. To be honest, it was a big waste of time. Overall, I took roughly 4 hours out of my day to have him look at my face for one minute and take two pictures of my scar. I could have taken the pictures myself and sent them to him if that was all he was going to do.

I mentioned to him that I had been using Mederma and the silicone patch together and saw some immediate results and he poo-poo’d the idea. He told me the money I spent on the Mederma and silicone patches would be better served if given to a charity. He doesn’t believe Mederma or the silicone patch does anything. Oh well, I’m still going to do it. ;)

The scar is healing slowly, but surely. The tightness is still there, but going away gradually. I still have the numbness and I don’t except this to get better for months so I’m not too worried about not having any feeling now.

Here is the latest photo:
