It's not going to be a fun morning.........more skin cancer.

Sometimes it's just one worry after another, isn't it. Maybe the Doc is just being super cautious. Glad the skin graft is looking good.
 

Ike, good to hear that the skin taking hold looks promising, but sad to hear you need another biopsy....when it rains it pours for you my friend, hugs.

Must be horrible Ike. Isn't there anything you can take to alleviate it? If you aren't able to touch it, is there a pill you could take to manage the symptoms?

Jeez I hate to take another pill girl......I take so many now I rattle when I walk. :)

I'll get though it......better an itch than pain eh ?
 
Just read through this thread and all the while I was thinking of Rick Simpson and all the cancer he cured using marijuana oil. It's absolutely criminal that cancer research in this country has refused to consider it despite anecdotal evidence that it works! How many people could potentially be saved from going through what you've gone thru here Ike and the others by putting a tiny drop of the oil on top of the spots! But then I guess that those doctors and surgeons wouldn't be able to afford their country club memberships and so on.

Not fair at all for any folks who are faced with this problem. These are the kinds of situations where I always wish that the ones who refuse to do the research could be the next ones to suffer horribly from the same affliction. If anybody deserves it, they do.
 
Well crap here we go again.

I had my routine every four month dermatologist check one week ago today......he froze three spots on my head and neck but then he gets out the magnifying glass and looks a spot on my nose and says, "I think we better do a biopsy".

The results came back today and it's more damn skin cancer !

He's sending the biopsy results and pictures of the before and after the cut to the specialist who worked on me before that did the two surgeries and skin grafts on my nose and they are supposed to call me to set up a appointment.......naturally he doesn't know for sure but he thinks it'll be around mid Dec. before the specialist will be able to get me in, we'll see.

It wasn't any fun the first time.....it wasn't any fun the second time.....and I'm pretty damn sure it's not going to be any fun this time.

You think that maybe Santa can just bring me a whole new nose for Xmas ?
 
Well, it's a good thing you're being checked often and it's taken care of right away. But terrible that you're going to have to go through having it removed a third time. Especially this time of year when you're out and about all the time. I hope this time the surgery is a quick one and it heals fast.

Damn, big stuff, this sucks! So hoping it isn't a huge ordeal and over soon. Hugs.
 
Thinking about you Ike, so sad to hear this again, I can't imagine how painful and worrisome this is for you. Sending warm thoughts your way...hugs.
 
That sucks! Sounds like Moh's surgery. My partner has had that surgery twice, and we joke about the "pound of flesh" he donates to his dermatologist every six months. I just ask him "how many cancers this time?"
 
How frustrating to get news like this, Ike, and it's hard to rest easy that all is OK. I'm sorry this is happening to you, and I hope after this next bit, maybe that will be the end of it for you.
