I have melanoma. What is my perspective?

Thin melanoma or melanoma in the place It's not dangerous. Melanoma is only life-threatening if it grows deeper into the skin layers and spreads to other parts of the body. The risk of spread and eventual death from metastatic Melanoma depends on several factors, but the main one is how thick the first melanoma is at the time it was surgically removed.

Melanoma less than 0.75 mm thick rarely spreads or metastasizes, whereas melanoma 0.75–1 mm thick has approximately a 5% chance of spreading. metastasis. The risk of metastasis increases steadily with thickness, such that melanoma more than 4 mm thick has about a 40% chance of spreading

Having a second melanoma does not mean a bad outcome, especially if it is caught early. In many cases, a second melanoma detected early is thinner than the first. If melanoma is caught in its early stages, it can be easily and successfully removed, and more than 90% people make a full recovery.
