The Love of my Life Pennie and the Kitten Noah that rode in the engine compartment of my work truck.

I saw a mole on Pennie's back that did not look right, Please look at the Link above.

We have been married for 24 years

She went to the Doctors and she had the mole removed, and the Doctor said the mole had deep roots

We got the results back and it is not good.

She has Malignant Melanoma Skin Cancer Stage 2 Level 4b

Wife went back to cancer center today and had more cut out.
She is in pain since the moles removed was right where the bra strap goes across

We have to stay positive for Pennie is the love of my life, my heart & soul.
If I loose her, I will need my online family

Here is a link that everyone should look at a learn, to help your family and friends.
Early detection is the key

Staging

Further context on cancer staging is available at TNM.
Also of importance are the "Clark level" and "Breslow's depth" which refer to the microscopic depth of tumor invasion.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference">[22]</sup>
Melanoma stages:<sup id="cite_ref-AJCC_22-0" class="reference">[23]</sup>
Stage 0: Melanoma in Situ (Clark Level I), 99.9% Survival
Stage I/II: Invasive Melanoma, 85-99% Survival

• T1a: Less than 1.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/o Ulceration and mitosis < 1/mm2
• T1b: Less than 1.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/Ulceration or mitoses ≥ 1/mm2
• T2a: 1.00-2.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/o Ulceration

Stage II: High Risk Melanoma, 40-85% Survival

• T2b: 1.00-2.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/ Ulceration
• T3a: 2.00-4.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/o Ulceration
• T3b: 2.00-4.00 mm primary tumor thickness, w/ Ulceration
• T4a: 4.00 mm or greater primary tumor thickness w/o Ulceration
• T4b: 4.00 mm or greater primary tumor thickness w/ Ulceration <<<<< Wife Pennie

Stage III: Regional Metastasis, 25-60% Survival

• N1: Single Positive Lymph Node
• N2: 2-3 Positive Lymph Nodes OR Regional Skin/In-Transit Metastasis
• N3: 4 Positive Lymph Nodes OR Lymph Node and Regional Skin/In Transit Metastases

Stage IV: Distant Metastasis, 9-15% Survival

• M1a: Distant Skin Metastasis, Normal LDH
• M1b: Lung Metastasis, Normal LDH
• M1c: Other Distant Metastasis OR Any Distant Metastasis with Elevated LDH

Based Upon AJCC 5-Year Survival With Proper Treatment




Wife has Stage 2 Level 4 and goes back to Cancer Center for Pet ScanStage II: High Risk Melanoma, 40-85% Survival

Other Cancer so Please go get checked

• Breast cancer: In breast cancer classification, staging is usually based upon TNM,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> but staging in I–IV may be used as well
• Cervical and ovarian cancers: the "FIGO" system has been adopted into the TNM system. For premalignant dysplastic changes, the CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) grading system is used. <sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">[3]</sup>
• Colon cancer: originally consisted of four stages: A, B, C, and D (the Dukes staging system). More recently, colon cancer staging is indicated either by the original A-D stages or by TNM. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference">[4]</sup>
• Kidney cancer: uses TNM <sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[5]</sup>
• Cancer of the larynx: Uses TNM <sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference">[6]</sup>
• Liver cancer: uses Stages I–IV <sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference">[7]</sup>
• Lung cancer: uses TNM <sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference">[8]</sup>
• Melanoma: TNM used. Also of importance are the "Clark level" and "Breslow depth" which refer to the microscopic depth of tumor invasion ("Microstaging"). <sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference">[9]</sup>
• Prostate cancer: outside of US, TNM almost universally used. Inside US, Jewett-Whitmore sometimes used. <sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference">[10]</sup>
• Testicular cancer: uses TNM along with a measure of blood serum markers.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference">[11]</sup>
• Non melanoma skin cancer: uses TNM <sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference">[12]</sup>
• Bladder cancer: uses TNM <sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference">[13]</sup>

Thanks for all the info buddy, it's good to know. :)

Pen has Stage 2 Level 4 and goes back Monday for Pet scan

I hope this info will help others for we all are family on Mother Earth

She will be okay buddy, keep thinking positive my friend, i will email George Norey on Coasttocoastam.com and ask him to put a request out to all his listeners(over 20 million) for a mass prayer for Pen, that's the least i can do buddy.
