Melanoma

I had it! Now it's cut out.

Diagnosis:
A. Malignant Melanoma. Superficial Spreading Type. Invasive to Clark's Level II. Approximately 0.39 mm in Thickness. Arising as a focal change in a nevus with architectural disorder. Note: There is no evidence of ulceration. The lymphocytic response is patchy and sparse. The mitotic rate is low. Small epitheliod cell types predominate. A complete excision of the lesion is recommended.

Translation:
I have a giant hole in my belly, but I'm not going to die. Nothing like a sudden immense fear of death to give you a little perspective on life. This has really taught me the dubiously important lesson that I should continue to enjoy myself.
