I have skin cancer. It's not the melanoma-kill-you kind, but carcinoma. I've already had one giant chunk removed from my shoulder and now I am the luckiest girl in the world. It has decided to appear on my face. Wednesday the dermatologist burned the shit out of it with liquid nitrogen and said "hopefully that will take care of it." WTF? Then he

Did Joe ever get to eat his steak last night?

Yes he did - he cooked it and ate it right away when we got home.

Oh no! I really hope everything will be okay for you. And in any event, just give me a call and I'll be there in a heartbeat.

I know how it is going to the doctor. I hate it too. I'm like a year overdue for my yearly ob-gyn visit. :|

Oh my! Still going to Dr. Schlam? I need to see him soon as well, but I can't go until I get a referral from my primary care. I'm still in shock... what's the treatment like for this?

Wow. So sorry to hear this, but I'm glad he got it all. Go slather some lotion on your face and have a margarita.

How did I miss this? I'm guessing & hoping all is well now since no further news on the skin cancer.

Take care of yourself!

So far so good. The most recent spot on my face seems to have been cowed into submission for the moment. I go back at the end of the month for a follow-up/look-over. But my regular doctor sent me for a chest x-ray and my first mammogram a few weeks ago. Not such fun stuff. I'm hoping everyone's just all in a tizzy for nothing. :)

Thanks for checking in on me! You made my afternoon! *hugs*
