That’s what they told my father, that it gets into the bloodstream and they said just that - That it goes to the brain. Oh wow I assume your friend is no longer around? And they lose the biopsy, real nice. And only 44, that’s terrible.

My back for example is mole city so I always get it checked out.
He died within 18 months to 2 years of noticing the mole, at 45, and it rocked his many, many friends. He was a rising star and a well-known prosecutor in a major city.

He kept looking back as if counting the cars, wondering how many would be at his funeral someday.
