We met with the plastic surgeon who, due to the size of the resulting wound from my pending excision surgery, will be taking a layer of skin from my thigh and grafting it to the melanoma excision wound to try and help speed up recovery time.

I would like to point out that this doctor impressed me because when he was discussing recovery care with us he asked us about insurance, which we do not have. When he found out we don’t have any medical insurance, he was genuinely concerned that we could be put into serious financial hardship by the bills for the services he would be providing. He made sure we knew we could discuss financial aid with his office. If you ever read this blog post, thank you sir!
