My Bud From 6Th Grade Has Melanoma

Dang, I'm bummed. My bud from 6th grade, the first guy I met when we moved from S.Dak. to TX has malignant melanoma and isn't going to seek treatment. His wife died from breast cancer about five years ago. The guy has freckles and curly red hair. We used to ride around New Braunfels, TX, terrorizing the town on our little Honda motorcycles. This shows we all have a shelf life.

I don't know, and I asked him if he considered treatment. He wrote, "I won't pay them to practice." I think the way his wife died from cancer over time, and all she went through as she slowly went downhill, convinced him he'd never do the same thing.

Melanoma is a bad one. It tends to metastasize early, sometimes before you even find the primary. Sometimes you never find the primary. But, with treatment for that one, depending on how far it has progressed at the present, you can extend "quality time" left. It is his choice, though.
