Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hi guys. I hate secrets but I've been keeping one and I feel it's time to share with you all because you share your ups and downs, good times and bad times. I have told a couple of people but I wasn't ready to open it to the wider world. However I feel I can now. A few weeks ago our son had a growth removed from his ankle that looked like an infected bite. Unfortunately it has turned out to be a malignant melanoma. He now needs a further, bigger operation on his foot to dig out any remaining cancerous cells. He also had a full body scan. The results were good but not as good as they could have been. His liver, lungs and brain are clear but one of his lymph nodes was enlarged so that could mean it has spread to there. Or it could be nothing. He now has to have a biopsy on that to find out. As you can imagine we are so upset, even though the prognosis is generally good and I am confident that he will be OK. It's just not something you expect to have to deal with when it's your kids. I have to say 2024 has been a pretty sh*t (sorry Pete) year so far.

Sorry to hear this Anj, but at least the medics are getting on top of it for him. Thoughts and prayers with you all and looking forward to hearing better news…..

Sorry to hear Anj, stay strong together, the docs are already on it at least so hopefully, as Pete said, looking forward to hearing better news soon enough

So sorry the news wasn’t better, Anj. I really hope that the biopsy results come back clear. Wish I could do more than just send my love and very best wishes.💙

Ah that's [Poor language removed] anj, hope he's ok and makes a speedy recovery 💙

Afternoon all, been round the docks this morning, I took pics, will share when I go back on my pc. I am determined to fight and keep this depression at bay. I'm helping myself to help myself and trying not to feel sorry for myself.

Have a good day guys

A worrying time for you all Anj but place your trust in the medics to see him right.
