Today's surgery was to remove any remaining parts of the melanoma on my left upper arm that might have been part of the original tumor. The original tumor was only 3mm thick from the biopsy, and the usual procedure is to do a deep resection of the original site. If the original tumor would be 7mm or more, then further treatment would be necessary. So I am very fortunate that this might be the only treatment that I will need.
It is times like these that my angel, Dorothy, is still with me in a different way, helping me to do the right thing. I ask for her help every day, and I know she hears me.
Now I have to go to the doctor's office in 10 days to have the sutures removed. Again I am blessed to have my daughter-in-law, Hedy, to be able to drive me to all these appointments.
Praise be to God our Father.

About Me
- Doctor Broz
- I am a Doctor of Medicine and graduated from Loyola Medical School in 1943. I got married in 1945, and went into the Army in July of 1945. I had the rank of Captain when I was discharged in June 1947. Then I entered into Family Practice in Franklin Park, IL until 1981. Then I worked part time in a clinic in Woodruff, WI until 1987. With the partial loss of my hearing, I was forced into full retirement. I like to sing, and I was a member of the Lakeland Barbershop Chorus for 21 years. I also love to grow vegetables, from tomatoes to watermelon. I love the outdoors, and especially love our lake home, where I am close to nature and God. This being my 90th year, and with my large and wonderful family, I would like to introduce a new identity, "The Broz Dynasty." There are about 60 of us now, and we are still growing. Our motto is "Peace and Love."
