Ever since my son passed 8 1/2 years ago, and both of my sisters kicking cancers a$$ 7 years ago, I have a deep hatred of cancer. We even had to stop going to the treatment center where my son took his treatments because Pammi and I got so emotional!
I had a thing on my neck that was getting bigger, so I had Pammi make an appointment for me at her dermatologist. The PA said it didn't look like much, but she sliced it off my neck just to make sure.
She then asked if she could look at my chest and back. I said ok, since I'd already paid the admission price.
She saw a spot on my belly that she said looked suspicious and sliced that off.
I wasn't worried about it until I got a call from the Thursday afternoon saying to call them back. I then started freaking out because I didn't get the message until after they had closed!
We called back the next morning and got ahold of the PA's nurse. She said that the cyst on my neck was benign and no worries there.
The one on my belly was a different story. The biopsy came back as atypical, precancerous. Whoa! They said it was caught in time, but I needed to go back and gave some more cut out just to make sure that got it all. Outpatient surgery and I'll be back to work the next day. Scary stuff, considering that I haven't had my shirt off in public for many years because of my hernia!
Guys, and ladies, get checked regularly. All over. It'll save your life!
