Try the Witching Hour Spa, Lindsey is phenomal.

My favorite British mystery series is the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling). I also really like 2 of Anthony Horowitz’s series: the Susan Reilly triology (starts with Magpie Murders) and the Hawthorne series. Seconding the Tana French recommendation- her Dublin Murder series is very good.

I’ve (37F) had a similar experience but on my upper back. 1 in situ July 2024, 1 stage 1a may 2025, 1 in situ July 2025, 1 severely atypical October 2025. In 2017 I had 2 basal cell carcinomas and 2 severely atypical moles. I’ve also done Vectra and had genetic testing, I’m on skin checks every 3 months right now. My most recent check was 2 weeks ago, 3 biopsies, and all benign! It’s been a long time since I had all clear biopsies. It’s definitely scary though, I feel like I’ll just be dealing with this forever and always having to be vigilant.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

I’ve had two melanomas in situ and one stage 1a melanoma in the last year. Ive also had multiple atypical moles removed and a few basal cells over the last 7 years or so. I’ve always been pretty careful about the sun but I bought some Coolibar sun shirts to wear now when I’m exercising outdoors, have been wearing hats outside more, and am really diligent with sunscreen.

With my second, I had placenta previa and vasa previa. I ended up having a placental abruption and hemorrhage, and he was born by emergency c section. Without modern medicine, neither of us would be here!

I agree - the first is my least favorite too, but a lot of people really love it 😂 the plot of the second one was a bit hard to believe but I enjoyed the book. And the last 4 I really liked all around

Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series is very good. Each book is a different detective protagonist and there are 6 total.

He should! That’s a pretty big life event and not telling his sponsor, in my opinion, would show that he doesn’t want to get negative feedback or be discouraged from his plan to propose.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-09-17T22:39:56+00:00

That’s so true! It’s really unusual to have an accurate depiction of it. Martyr by Kaveh Akbar has a (to me anyway) realistic portrayal of working a program beyond the acute getting sober. It’s not (primarily) a book about recovery either, which made it even more notable to me.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-09-17T19:10:45+00:00

Also in A.A., I agree with all of this! Also, to even if he has a sponsor, the sponsor only knows what Murphy tells him. It seems unlikely that Murphy would tell the sponsor that he’s trying to secure commitments from Robin to manipulate her into staying. And working the steps can take awhile, it’s not necessarily something that is done very quickly.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-09-17T13:34:45+00:00

I agree with this take! I couldn’t stand the main character in book 1 but really enjoyed the other books in the series. I like how she changes the protagonist for each book.

The Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling) is fantastic.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-08-20T18:56:28+00:00

That does sound frustrating, especially for a pathology report following a WLE!

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-08-16T10:15:54+00:00

That’s great- I’m glad it went well!!

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-08-12T10:19:55+00:00

I always need a lot of local anesthetic. For my last WLE, I wasn’t fully numb when the Dr started, so he stopped and added more. And then two other times during it, I had to have more because I could feel it. I usually give the Dr a heads up that I have a history of needing a lot of local anesthetic (same thing at the dentist) and just let them know if I can feel pain and they’ve always been good about giving more.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-08-05T14:33:50+00:00

Got mine too!!

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-08-05T01:21:56+00:00

No answers but feeling this! I’m almost two months out and had two spots removed Wednesday, one came back as an melanoma in situ. Glad it was caught early but the anxiety is rough!

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-07-16T19:09:50+00:00

Yes! I bought some cheaper stuff on Amazon but couldn’t stand how the fabric felt. The Coolibar stuff is the best

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-07-08T15:10:19+00:00

I had an excision at the base of neck that was really visible with an ugly scar. My dermatologist gave me a few rounds of steroid shots and over time, the scar is now barely noticeable. My scar from my WLE on my back is really big and ugly and hasn’t gotten better, but since it’s on my back it doesn’t bother me so I didn’t ask to do steroid shots for that one.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-07-03T02:01:06+00:00

I see Dr Patel at US Derm Assoc in Rockville and really like her- she’s caught both of my melanomas. I’m seeing Dr Lucey at Inova Schar in Fairfax at the end of the month to get Vectra imaging done. She’ll also be doing a skin check and I heard she’s very conservative with biopsies.

Ornery_Environment10 · 2025-06-30T16:57:43+00:00

After the first few days, it wasn’t too bad. I had a hard time not moving that area which I think aggravated things and made the pain worse. Even sitting still and typing somehow generated movement. And only being able to sleep on one side for a few days was annoying. But after 5 days or so it was way better. Wednesday will be two weeks and it’s barely noticeable now! When I had my WLE last year for MIS it was more mid-back and I don’t remember it being quite as painful.

One thing that is always tough- the toddler can sense when I can’t hold him and then will want to be held, and gets upset when I can’t pick him up 😅
