I real...First of all, I'm so sorry about this. I really am upset for you. I am so thankful you didn't dally any longer, but, as you said, you didn't think you were dallying, and you did ask professionals. I just wish one of them would have sent you to your dermatologist. We do get into potential trouble when we consult Dr. Google, don't we?<br /><br />My mother had a very aggressive form squamous cell carcinoma on her scalp a year ago. I kept telling her to go to her dermatologist, but she didn't go until it kept getting bigger. She did have to have it removed because it was spreading rapidly. She had this done at age 100. I will spare you the details of how much was taken in the mohs surgery. She came through it with flying colors. I know you will too. <br /><br />Thinking of you as you begin your treatments.

And I have an appointment for my occasional "lookover" by the dermatologist now. I'll have here look at a strange little place on my leg, too. I don't think it's anything, but you never can know, and it's different than anything I've had. So -- time to check it out.<br /><br />Google's great for information, but not so good for a diagnosis. I often use it, especially for things like how to treat bumblebee stings. :-) But for the big things? A real doc is always best -- and sometimes a second opinion (or third) from them.

I’m sure you hear it all the time, but I had exactly the same thing only on the top of my right ear (don’t forget to put sunscreen on your ears!). It was removed, along with a little of my ear – all good. It's gone. I'm well, and I know you will be too.<br />It would be good to get the thyroid checked out when you can. Maybe deal with both things together just to speed it up a little. <br />Thinking of you, sending lots of love, hugs and good vibes!<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-55192749299202465492017-10-02T11:29:46.133-04:002017-10-02T11:29:46.133-04:00I am so glad that you will be ok.
