| Good news from my dermatologist today! |
|
I've had this mole for years on the back of my left hand...
It never did anything...
Until several weeks ago...
And then it started growing...:scared:
And I thought damn, I'd better keep an eye on it...
And it kept on growing...
So...
About 10 days ago, I got in to see my MD, and he agreed that it had to go...
He told me to call him today to get the biopsy ...
It's not even a basal cell cancer!
It's just a pre-cancer!
What a relief...
Another bullet dodged...
Here's to dodging bullets!

And good for you for staying on top of it -- hence, the "pre!" :hug:

Aw, thanks, sweetie!
My news hardly matters next to yours...
You're doing well, IIRC?
Yeah, staying on top of it keeps it from ever becoming anything but a "pre"!

| 3. Yes, I'm fine, thanks! |

My fifth round of chemo is next week and then I'll have a scan in the week or so afterward. I'm hoping that we'll find out then when the chemo ends. In the meantime, I'm teaching and planning our planes, trains, and automobiles trip to California and Colorado. :) :hug:

I need you around for some time to come, CP! :hug:
Now that I have A JOB! am going to go get a couple or ten spots checked out on me.
So many years of being the redhead who burned as a child and young adult...too many "new" spots that I just don't like, and Dammit! Won't accept!
Am still young, I say! Young!
So glad and happy about your good news, CP! :hug: :loveya:

I plan to stick around till all of you are sick of me, OK?
Yes, do get your spots checked out, sweetie...
You are certainly young!
Thanks, sweetie...:hug: :loveya:

| 15. My dear liberaltrucker! |

Oh, believe me, I was sure it was at least a basal cell CA!
It seemed as though it was growing right before my eyes...
But apparently, I did catch it early!
Can't get rid of me that easily, sweetie!
:loveya:
:hug:
Oh, and thanks...:blush:
