Cancer Surgery Today for my Husband

By Colleen Hammond, in Prayers | 6 Responses 6 Comments

My darling husband is having surgery today to remove a malignant melanoma from his arm. Your prayers are gratefully appreciated!

He’ll be going under the knife at 11am Central. The surgeon said it’s a 90 minute procedure.

If you see an odd mole, do NOT let it go! Have it checked out. We had a scare this week that it had moved into Lymphoma.
