Skin cancer - Damn!!

[MSTRS:Me]

Scary news.
Fingers crossed that doc is just being ultra-cautious and that it will prove to be a false alarm. In which case, that's a hell of a way to get yourself a facelift!
In the meantime, take it easy and appreciate all the good things around you.

Hillbilly, we are thinking of you and sending over lots of positive thoughts .. I know its tough waiting but you are fine and handling this well ... just keep positive and with your energies up you are able to deal with anything that comes your way.

Cancer is not all doom and gloom like it used to be-you will be fine.
It's probably just a `big arsed mole' and they have done you a favour by making you more pretty!

Thinking of you mate - look after yourself...

[BuFfY]

My goodness that is terrible. Guess you are lucky they got it when they did huh! But is never a fun thing to go through!

I am a white little girl but I am more than happy to stay that way because there are too many people these days going through what you are.

There was an interesting doco on a week or so ago about a girl who got skin cancer... makes you rethink all the sunbathing!

Tough shit - no need to worry until you get the results back though, I mean it's really out of your hands! Best of luck with it.
And do take care of the stiching - make sure you keep it as immovable as possible or it can scar quite badly. I didn't think too much when I had 3 moles taken out of my back and went out and practiced taekwondo 1-2 weeks later. They had been sewn by a plastic surgeon - but after I had been running and jumping around kicking and punching like a madman they're quite visible. Good thing I doesn't care too much - since it's my back and all.

Just be glad it was a mole he wanted to cut off and not some random piece of skin - skin cancer is much worse than what you can get in moles... So yeah, just take care with the sun and have someone look you over every now and again to see if anything has changed - the trick is to discover it ASAP, if the cancer spreads into the lymphic nodes you're really in for a ride!

Thanx a million for all the kind words, support and advice. What's got me worried is all the other "spots" that have apperared on my chest, and forehead. The only time I can really think that I've been out in the sun is when I'm windsurfing. OK, no sunscreen

Being part Abbo, I didn't think that i'd need to worry too much, if at all. Looks as if I was wrong! Anyway, I get the results and the stitches out on Friday. (The itch is driving me mad) .

I'll let you know the results when I get them.

[Hillbilly]

Got the stitches out and the results back today. Turned out to be a "Nodular Basal Carcenoma". It was completely removed as well. What had everyone worried was that it looked exactly like a Nodular Melanoma. "Had that actaully been the case", the surgeon said, "You wouldn't be around next year. You're very lucky"

Well, all the other spots that I had checked out were just that - spots! The good thing is this really made me focus on the really important things in life - like riding!

Great news, well done for getting on to it too!

[chanceyy]

[magicfairy]

Awesome....I bet these last few days have been hell. Time to buy a Lotto ticket.

Good news to hear...and I think this is due to you hanging around with Genestealers, I think Sisters Of Battle would be more appropriate - unless you like Slaaneshi Daemonettes!
