Prayers Please
I just got my biopsy results from the dermatologist today and my spot was basal cell skin cancer. It sounds like this is fairly common and treatable, but anything with the word"cancer" in it scares the daylights out of me!! I will be having it completely removed as soon as they schedule my appointment. This is a wake up call to all of us "Sun Worshipers". Everyone I know needs to have a full body skin check. This spot was a tiny little red freckle. The only reason I noticed it was because it bled a couple of different times after I washed my face. Anyway, I am still very scared. I will keep you posted about my apt. If anyone has any experience in this area or knows someone who has had it, I would love to hear some reassuring words. (Sally-You were awesome today when I talked to you! Thanks so much!) Apparently , my father-in-law has had a couple of these removed as well. It is just something I will have to watch closely for the rest of my life. Today I am not worried about 2 house payments so much. I 'd rather work 3 jobs and not have skin cancer!! Funny how God puts things in perspective.

My mom had this exact kind of cancer and the same surgery a few yrs ago. She had a dry flakey place that just wouldnt go away so had it looked at and found out it was basal cell cancer. She had a place right by the side of her nose removed. They ended up removing it all and everything went really well. You can not even see a scar there. I know that any time you hear "cancer" it freaks you (and anyone) out. We have all got to use sunscreen. I remember when we used to lay out with babyoil and iodine daily in your yard by a kiddie pool with a fan blowing on us! Those were the days, huh?? You are in my prayers. Please keep me updated on the surgery. I am sure it will go well.
