Well, this sucks.

Sorry to hear that. My old man lost his left eye when I was 8. For the rest of his life he battled a lifting retina in the good eye, real pain in the ass.

Gook luck, hope it works out for the best.

I am sorry to hear that man. Hope all goes well.

**jennym** · 11-10-2005, 02:45 PM

Sorry to hear that baddog. Having your parents go through something like that is almost as bad as when it's your kids. Best wishes to your mom.

A very serious form of skin cancer. I have had it for years, and just blown it off. Guess I am going to have to rethink this position.

Melanoma is a malignant cancer.

This really sucks baddog. Sorry for the news.

Hopefully it's something that can be fixed and she will recover soon.

They fix it by removing the eye, and giving her a glass one.

My ex was treated at Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA when she got a major corneal infection.

You should take her to Bradley R. Straatsma, MD who is their top specialist for Ocular Melanoma and the head of the Department of Ophthalmology.

**Sosa** · 11-10-2005, 04:14 PM

sorry to hear that lloyd. Hope she has a good recovery.

**Tat2Jr** · 11-10-2005, 04:14 PM

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she comes out of it ok. Melanoma is one of the most deadly cancers there is. Don't take yours lightly Baddog. My mom had her toe cut off because of melanoma.

**Mohawk Steve** · 11-10-2005, 04:14 PM

Sorry to hear that baddog. Hope all goes well for her during the surgery and recovery.

**Number1Thumb** · 11-10-2005, 04:14 PM

Yeah, that is why I don't go to doctors. Ignorance is bliss kind of thing.

Takes something like this to wake you up I guess.

I could deal without a toe, or finger, or dying even, but losing my sight would kind of fuck up my life as I know it.

**SilentKnight** · 11-10-2005, 04:21 PM

Sorry to hear about that, dude. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your mom.

My parents are inchin' towards their 70s...and having more and more medical issues every day.

Aging sucks. Hope the surgery goes well.

**Elli** · 11-10-2005, 04:24 PM

Yikes, that's harsh. I hope it's as painless as possible.

Well, this sucks.

Well, this sucks.
