Holy Moley


So.....each year I have all my moles checked to make sure none have turned into cancer. (my fear!) Low and behold........this year I went in to get two checked out because they had been bothering me for some time. The doctor took a look at the two that I was concerned about and decided to take two "other" moles off that looks suspicious! That sucked!! A few days later I get a message on my machine that I have to go in for SURGERY in the morning to remove the area around one of the moles. The area had abnormal growing cells. WHAT?!?!?! After Brandon calmed me down.........this is what I have to show for it now!! Yeah me. Nice wound. I watched the whole thing too. It was pretty nasty. They took about the size of a silver dollar out! snip, snip. What ever right, they got everything and it wasn't pre-cancerous. Yippee~ ***the small circular red spot above my stitches is the other mole they removed.**

I am so glad(even though it hurt) with our family history of cancer we have to be diligent. Good work!
