My sister-in-law has gotten both jabs, and a booster. I have no idea which company the shots were from. She'll be 75 next week. She has cardiac arrhythmia for which she takes medication. She recently had a spot on the back of her left leg that was diagnosed as melanoma. There has been cancer in her family, but no melanoma. Last week they removed the spot, and a tumor in the calf. They had to keep cutting to make sure they got it all, and she's seeing a plastic surgeon tomorrow about skin grafts. They also removed some lymph nodes from her groin area during the surgery. When I spoke to her this past Sunday, she hadn't gotten the test results on the tumor yet. Because nobody had made plans to put a drainage tube in the leg at the time of the surgery, a visiting nurse had to come to her house to do it on Friday, December 3rd, 2-3 days after the surgery. As of this past Sunday, the 12th, she still had the drainage tube in, with no idea when it would be removed. They can't do any skin grafts until the tube is gone. My sister-in-law wasn't one to sunbathe, but would sit periodically in a regular lawn chair in the sun during the summer. I question whether that melanoma and tumor were actually caused by the sun, because of where it was located. Shouldn't she have ended up with a spot someplace that had actually been exposed to the sun?
Poor gal. She needs lots of prayer. She has mine right now.
Typically, yes, top of legs, knees, nose, cheeks and ears.
But, melanomas are not all caused solely by the sun. UV exposure, chemicals in the environment, Round-up, etc. even cosmic rays...............
