Best Wishes to Coach P

That's some scary stuff and brave of her to post such an unfiltered picture - pretty raw image. Prayers to her for a quick "recovery". Melanoma is a tricky and insidious opponent.

Sorry ... didn't expect the picture to be posted too....

I could be wrong and I am sure many will tell me if so. First I wish nothing but the best for coach P, but I have never, ever seen a surgical incision on a area that was not shaved first. I have been around long enough to experience several myself and those of others. Also had dogs with surgeries over the years who have never come out of it with out the area being shaved. This is strange to say the least.
Then again maybe that degree from Duke is not all cracked up to what it is supposed to be.
What ever it is I wish her a speedy and full recovery asap....

Ick. Melanoma can be very very nasty. Hopefully caught in time.

Agreed. That doesn't look right at all. Hair right up to the incision line.

Melanoma, commonly called a 'Pigmented Tumor. Can be hereditary or acquired, such as 'too much sun'. Very carcinogenic. I knew a women who informed me that her husband had said 'tumor in the eye'. The eye had to be enucleated. Because, I left the area, final outcome not known. You notice in the picture on the left, that is why I, most often, am wearing a hat !

My humanity will always outweigh my fandom. Good luck and speedy recovery Coach P. My prayers are with you!

Wow! 17-9 and 6-6 in a conference you guys dominated until recently. I knew it was a bad idea to let those green people in.

As a melanoma survivor, I know how scary the verdict can be. The best way to avoid the worst outcome is to keep an eye on any changes in moles on your body. Early detection is the best chance for survival. If you have cancer in your family, you might want to have a dermatologist look you over periodically. That's what I did. I had no idea going in that anything was wrong, and I was completely taken aback by the news that my almost invisible mole was malignant. Slather on the sun cream to avoid getting the skin burned. Keep an eye out for anything that looks strange. Neglect here can be fatal.
