Cancer Free

God is Good! I am cancer free! When for my check-up today and it all looks great! Time to celebrate!

C-word Update

A few weeks ago I went to my dermatologist for a check up on my meds. I blogged about my experience about her doing a biopsy on my ear lobe. Well I finally got the results this week.

The nurse said that it was "pre-cancerous cells". So I need to come in and have it looked and she might burn the rest off. However the strange part is the biopsy has helped the lobe heal. I'm not kidding it looks like a normal ear lobe. So I have no clue what she is going to burn off. But there could be something under the skin that they'll have to keep a watchful eye on.

I guess I feel better that it was "pre-cancerous" v. really cancer. If I didn't have my check-up then I don't know how bad it would have gotten and where would I be today. I'm going back to her office on Nov 19. So until then I'll be putting Vitamin E on it to help the scaring.

thanks for all your cares and prayers.

The C-word...

Don't freak out.... because I haven't yet and I'm not going to today.

This morning I went to see my dermatologist for a check-up because she changed my meds right after the wedding. Everything was fine except I told her about my ear lobe. There has been this zit thing that I have been picking for about a month. (Yes I know that's bad habit.) It's been hurting and I just wanted to get rid of it.

She gave me two options. 1. To try to stop picking it and let it heal. If it isn't healed in about a month come back and we can do a biopsy to test if it's a basal cell. OR 2. do the biopsy today and we can find out in 2 weeks if it's a basal cell or just a bad zit.

Basal cell is CANCER! But my doctor said if I did have a "c-word" it's the "best kind to have". Okay so I decided to get it done while I was already there. So hopefully, in 2 weeks we'll know what this thing is on my ear.

Ok, that my post for today...
