For those of you who hadn't heard, Jenna recently had surgery to remove a malignant mole from her right shoulder. Her mother died of melanoma, and I'm sure JJ was freaked out. She said they removed the mole, as well as some skin around it. Thankfully, the doctors says she's okay now. :)

God bless, Jenna, and get well soon! We love you!

Dead from melanoma? Isn't that easily treatable unless given time to metathesize?

Actually melanoma is one of the deadlier forms of skin cancer.

From www.melanoma.com:

"Although melanoma accounts for only about 4% of all skin cancer cases, it causes most skin cancer-related deaths. The good news is that melanoma is often curable if it is detected and treated in its early stages."

Glad to hear JJ got it taken care of early.

Thank you, Low Rider. Yes, melanoma is very deadly if not detected early. Thank God for Jenna's trip to her dermatologist! It's strange...when I read on her site the posts from Jay saying her surgery went well, I assumed it was for having her implants reduced (which she plans to do). I had no idea it was something like this! Melanoma ain't no joke.

It shocked a lot of us ClubJenna members when we read that diary entry. I am extremely happy that the melanoma was caught early and Jenna had it removed.

Using technology to fix all the problems technology has caused will doom us all!

Best wishes to Jenna and I hope she's doing ok now. As others have pointed out, malignant melanoma is definitely not something to dismiss out of hand. Its been shown that it can run in families and I'm glad Jenna's doctor was able to catch this before it spread. These types of cancers usually start in pre-existing moles but can also appear anywhere on the body, especially those areas constantly exposed to the sun. Just as women check for lumps on their breasts and men on their testicles, everyone should look at their moles for suspicious changes and if any are found a trip to the doctor is well advised.

Yes, I'm glad she's okay now.

And it's not a bad idea to recommend everybody here to pay attention to their own bodies, from time to time. It can be really important.

Thanks to everyone for thinking of me. I am feeling ok now, just trying to heal from the surgery has been a bitch.

Even though my mother died from malignant melanoma, I didn't take "getting regular checkups" seriously... at least not as serious as I should have. I hope everyone out there gets their moles checked and uses SPF!

Thanks again!

I'm not superstitious at all, but there was a psychic on Howard Stern a few weeks back that had predicted that Jenna Jameson had some type of internal cancer. (Not melanoma, so it's not an exact match) I doubt she read Jenna's diary, even if that was up at the time. Maybe it was just a lucky guess. Gary, Howard's producer said that he was trying to contact Jenna about when they were discussing it, but they never mentioned it again.

Jenna, thanx for popping in and letting us know your feeling better. I'm sure this experience has been extremely distressing but I'm happy everything went well with your surgery. You have my sympathies for losing your mom as I also lost a good friend to this deadly disease. He didn't notice that he had a suspicious mole on his neck and by the time he sought treatment it was too late. He was only 25 years old when he died. I hope I don't upset anyone with this bit of personal info but as Jenna said it is really important to regularly check one's body for these things as they can be easily removed before any real harm occurs.

I'm very much relieved to hear that Jenna is recovering!

It shows that getting regular check-ups doesn't make you a hypocondriac, but can save your life. Damn, I should see my doctor as soon as possible about that!

Whew! I'm very happy to hear that she's OK now!

I've had facial surgery for Basal Cell cancers twice in the last few years, one requiring 9 stitches and the other requiring 28; please let me preach a bit---namely, use sunblock!!!! Even when you don't think it's absolutely necessary, use sunblock!!!!!
