Skin Cancer Support Group

Just sending an update this time.

I thought since I did not hear from my Dr. quickly that I was off the hook this time. Maybe I have just been in denial though. As I sat in the Atlanta airport today waiting to catch my flight to Michigan the Dr.s office called. GREAT! My surgery is scheduled for next Thursay. This is the second time on my left hand. The first time was squamous cell on my pointer finger. It was ugly and ended with a large graft. Then opened once again to remove an abcess from a stitch. Now the newest problem is on the back of my hand. I had a dark spot that seemed to be under my skin. I didn't think much of it since my other cancers seem to be growths. I went a little over a week ago for my routine checkup and the Dr. said, "Now that's something we need to look at further." Thus a biopsy that day. To those of you that have had this stuff recurring...... Do you ever get used to it? I missed my connecting flight in Atlanta and now am waiting and waiting for another plane. I've been sick every since I talked to the Dr.s office. Thanks to all that have read this note and thanks for the support all of you have given me.
