that seems pretty serious. how big was the lump?

it can still be treatable.

im not sure, i didnt even ask her, i was more worried about when she would find out and how she was feeling, it was in there pretty deep though, they had to dig for quite some time and now she has some stitches

If it is a mole type lump she has a good chance it is nothing, I had 2 removed awhile back and thankfully they both came back neg. But never the less I shall keep my fingers crossed for your friend Krista..

Like Jeff said it would just be some sort of growth. but even if it is melanoma its treatable in its early stages.

I hope for the best!
