Hi, my name is PeggyE. I was diagnosed in March of 2002, but I was misdiagnosed much earlier by my primary in 2000 calling it an ingrown hair not to worry! Six months later I am getting an
incisional biopsies, a CT with contrast and
blood work not in that order. The orginal
dr. was sooooooooo wrong. All they could tell
me it was cancer but not which kind, patholgy
4-6 weeks to figure out it was melanoma. I
went back to the doctor who made the mistake
and was referred to the best oncoligist and
plastic surgeon at UCI in Orange,Ca Dr.James
Jakowatz and Dr. Jay Calvert, and don't forget
Dr.Kent Azran in Long Beach,Ca. Four years later
here I am cancer free and hope with God's love
and help I will be here as long as I am needed.
