GIna. I remember you saying you beat cancer here a while back.
I was just wondering what to expect. I had a Dr.'s apt yesterday, and I found out I have skin cancer.


The Dr was looking at it, and poking and proding, said he's seen it a hundred times and hes 98% sure it is, but if its not (and he highly doubts it) it will be soon.
i'm tring to find a specialist now, but not having much luck in my area. SO I'll be loooking into the Houston or Austin area I guess.

 

oh I hope everything is ok.
And I said this before but I have to say it again, YAY for GIna!!!for overcoming cancer!

 

Hang in there, Sams! Everything will be okay, and we are all here for you.

 

Sams yes it has been five years! I had breast cancer so it is a little different then skin cancer. My cancer was found after I was sick with the flu for over a month. But only after bloodtests an MRI and a biopsy of my lymp nodes and lumpedectomy was performed. The only sure fire way to determine if it is truly skin cancer is through biopsy. And then with skin cancer often just radiation and laser therapy is enough to beat it. I am really shocked that your doctor would even mention cancer without having done any tests especially without a biospy. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

 

HE was telling me that with the non stop bleeding, and the soreness, quick growth and change in colors, he was pretty darn sure. Said he's seen it a thousand times....

I finally go a Dr. Apt with a cosmetic surgeon to have it removed. since its on my face, I don't want too bad of scarring. Though I'd rather have a scar! You know what I mean!!! lol

So Dec. 2nd i go in! He doubts I'll need radiation or anything. just have it removed.

 

OMG! good luck to you honey. Most all cancer caught early enough can be easy to beat in this day and age. I know many ppl. that have overcome different kinds.

You are in my thoughts.

 

Thanks yall. I have a good outlook on it. I'll just have it chopped off and go on about my way!! I found out my real father has had these before. So...I don't know if their genetic or anything but I know I'm not alone in the family.

 

I will and thank you all. I know its nothing That serious. But it's really freeky to me. THeres always something wrong with me or something going wrong....lol

Guess I'm the poster child for "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have none at all!"

yall are the best!

 

Oh Sams, I'm very sorry! I'm thinking of you

 

Thorugh me in this bunch Thanking of You and Prayers sent your way... Wishing you the best. I have a friend coming to Bomount for Thanksgiving Is that close to you?

 

Sams i'm so sorry and i hope it ALL gets better soon

I feel the same way with that quote and my other faviort one that explains my life is If anything can go wrong it will.

sending hugs your way
