First things first, I'm not an amputee yet but have been diagnosed with melanoma.  Sounds simple enough, a little skin cancer, just scrape it off and everything will be fine, right? Wrong.

After meeting with an oncologist and discussing treatment all I hear is amputation.

This is where I cannot believe it.  Has anyone else ever heard of this being so serious?

I can't believe basically a blemish can lead to losing a leg.

Has any one else here suffered from it?

I just dont believe this will happen .

Anyway if it has to happen i want to be around a bunch of people who are ordinary or regular people who dont see this as a disability.  I wont be disabled.
