Hi y'all............ just wanted to get some postive vibes before I go to the doc tomorrow........... I has squamous cell carcinoma last August........ and surgery............. from laying in tan beds for 25 years.. he said I would more than likely get more......... I was fine until this past March.. since then, I have had 8 precanerous places frozen..........he told me if I even had a zit that didn't clear up in a week, come running.......... I didn't do that.......I had a place ( thought it was a zit) on my left cheek.. ofcourse I messed with it and it bled and it wouldn't heal........ I let it go though........ and it just didn't look right..... my husband said it was beause I had messed with it so much....... I let several weeeks go by. Went back to the doc..... he said he wasn't sure about it, and it could just be scarring, but there was a ' pearly' place that could be BCC.. he gave me a prescription cream and said to use it for 6 weeks, then come back........ the redness has faded, but it still doesn't look good to me.............. and now, as of last Friday, I have a new ' PLACE' on my other cheek......... just like the first one started, and I'm pretty sure it's a place that has been there before, but thought it was a ' zit' and it healed............ so now I go tomorrow with the place that still doesn't look right and the ' NEW' one......... I am worried............

I'll take all the good vibes I can get........... I'll let y'all know what the doc says.........


Hugs..

Gaye

" Gaye,

I'm sending good vibes your way! Is your husband or a friend going with you? Like deraming metioned a list is good or someone who can think rationally, because how can we be expected to when we are already so worked up! Hope it goes well!!!

" Thanks Cindy and everyone............ sorry I'm so late getting back...... everything was fine.. no cancer....... he said it's my hormones....... ( I am 52 and in menopause)........ so I guess I am gonna start breaking out like a teenager and growing a beard, since he said my estrogen is dropping and my testosterone is increasing....... Like Mads said, now I just wait for my voice to deepen.......... Good times........

Thank you all for your good vibes. The doc did freeze two more places on my chest, but I'm used to that by now........

big hugs xoxo

Gaye "
