This is me not worrying...

I have a spot that I thought was a mole but I've been keeping an eye on it. Last time I checked it was at least double the size it used to be and has an irregular outline. So today I'm going to the doctor to have him check it out. Yeah... Skin cancer... That's what I need...

You do not want to sleep on that stuff.

Yeah, just one of the things that kept me awake last night. But I have an appointment at 1:40 today. So now I just have to make it until then.

**hugs**

Your doctor can help, and if it is cancer, it's one of the most detectable in the early stages, and that's when it's the most treatable.

It's scary, I know.

**more hugs**

Maybe it's a parasite from outer space instead?

Not a big deal if caught early, but I'm sure you know that. Robert had some removed last summer. And I think he has more. Just have to keep on top of it. xoxo

Absolutely, though I am having surgery on Friday. I am counting myself out of commission the next two weekends. October 11th or 12th? Lemme know, and I'll put it on the calendar. :-)

The 11th has tenative plans and the 12th has a Dim Sum brunch already. The 18th weekend I'll be out of town. The 23rd is SLAM booked. Busy busy busy.

We'll get there sometime. In November the weekend of the 14th is out, as well as the 23rd. How 'bout you?

I don't know how fast I'll snap back from this surgery, so I have to leave October 4th and 5th closed just in case.

And if your b-day thing ends up at Buca, I'll probably be there. :-)

November 8th is open for me.

Looks like Buca is the winning choice so that's the plan.

I had my own scare that direction back in July, and it was not fun. I had to wait a couple of weeks to get in for the biopsy and then another whole week for the results. The biopsy itself was really easy. They just hit it with some lidocane and did it. They used silver nitrate to stop the bleeding. Since I had several skin tabs removed at the same time, it looked like I had George Hamilton's Disease for a few weeks.

Hopefully they will tell you everything is fine.
