Man, you need to figure a way to scrape the money up and see a dermatologist now. Melanoma is nothing to wait on. Once it metastasizes it is hard to stop, but if you catch it early it is much simpler and cheaper.
Talk to the Dermatologist and work out a payment plan....you cannot afford to wait!!!!

I'm really sorry for your situation. You do deserve to be treated as every single citizen in this country deserves health care. It is such an obvious and important right, easily as important as national defense.
The scumbags are the polititions who claim to be compassionate but refuse to provide health care for everyone. They don't deserve to be Americans!

Re: update
Queen Asgara;
I'm glad to hear the good news and that there is hope for a good outcome.
Finding things that can fill the times while you wait for treatments to be over and tests results to be in were the key for me.
Laughter is always good medicine.
all the best,

Re: Surgery
Back in the mid-70s I grew some in my attic under a VHO fluorescent gro-lite. I don't know what it takes here in Oregon to get a marijuana card. I seem to remember a niece got one for a bad back.
Come July, rec pot will be legal here. I will probably try to grow some different strains for my own use. I love experimenting and the stuff I grew a long time ago was real killer weed. The whole attic had a deep fruity resin smell. A fun project.

Re: Surgery
Set up boxes, drip system, lights, fans prior to July 1. Then seeding, sprouting, transplant to medium, flowering in 10-14 days, pull the males, remix the nutrient, veg, more veg ... ok more veg, harvest, hang, clip and cure.
That's all way too fast. When I did it before I started with 60 seeds in small peat pots. The lighting cycle was 18 hours on and 6 off. Pruned the tops between each node so they would branch again and again. Got about 20 tops on each plant. Culled down to 36 plants in half gallon milk cartons. Always watching for the best growth of foliage rather than stem length. Eventually, I had 12 plants in 5 gallon plastic buckets, which just fit under the 8 foot long light
I have my notebooks somewhere, I need to dig them out. I adjusted fertilizer amount as they passed through stages of growth.
After about 10 months I cut the lights back to about 13 hours. A week or so later they started to bloom. Two were males so culled them right away. Each of the tops became a huge 12-14 inch long bud about 2 inches in diameter. As soon as blooming started I pruned most of the leave so I could see the blooms. Flowering continued for about 2 months until male blooms started spontaneously appearing. At that point I harvested and hung the plants in garbage bags for a month or so until it cured.
Nine of the plants seemed almost identical even though the seeds came from completely different batches that friends and I ran across that seemed really good, based on the high, taste and odor.
One of the final plants was from seeds collected from a batch called Thai Stick. It had leaves that were differently shaped than the other plants. Some of the leaves had as many as 15 individual blades. It smelled and tasted different and the high was more intense also.
I have heard that there are many varieties now and selective breeding has intensified many pleasing attributes. I look forward to experimenting with some of these. I did not know what I was doing, but the results were very nice. All through the project my friends and I sampled the material I was pruning off the plants and it was quite good, but nothing compare to the buds once they were cured. The buds kept 8 of us supplied for several years.
I was developing my career at the time and I found that being high seemed to kill ambition. I was great on plans and slow at carry through. Some of my friends spent way too much time high, in my opinion. I did like toking and taking my camera out and getting creative.
I know this is way off topic, but I thought some of you might be interested. The story of my misspent youth.

Biopsy and surgery today
When I had last check up (every 6 months) for bladder cancer there was a new suspicious growth that needed to be biopsied. I have also been peeing blood fairly often and my urologist said it was time to bore out my prostate, so today was the day...biopsy, cauterize the bleeders and bore job.
Figuring on being in the hospital for a couple days. Hurts like hell, but I just got up and took a short walk. Using my phone to log in. Hoping for good news on the biopsy, but if not, I have been through it before. Like most cancers, the earlier it is detected the better.

Re: Wishing you all well
Thanks for the thoughts!
Personally, I would feel guilty/uncomfortable if God did anything to help me when there are millions of starving children and adults and facing horrific daily situations.
I love honeycrisp apples and vanilla yogurt. I have it almost every day as well as lots of vegetables every meal. I like carrot orange juice and have thought about getting some kind of juice machine.
Just got word I am being discharged today. Woohoo!
