Well had to go to the hospital yesterday to have a biopsy done on a spot on my cheek.I was surprised just how much the freezing hurt,not the needle but the freezing itself.It felt just about like the worst hornet sting I've ever had x10.I've never had freezing feel like that before,and it went right up around my eye and froze my eye lids,what a weird feeling. Next week I have to take the stitches out. Now today I've got a sore face.:mecry:
My wife has had 3 skin cancers removed, but so far not the real nasty types. Likely they can remove yours with no problems whatsoever. Never good to hear that word cancer, that's for sure. I'll keep you in my prayers Maynard!

What name did they give it....basil cell? Basil cell is the safest of the skin cancers. It is localized & easily removed. It's understandable you're being scared. I'm sure I would be too. I sure was each time my wife had a biopsy come back cancerous. Hers are all gone now, but another can come anytime I guess. She had 2 on her face...one on her nose, the other below her eyelid. The plastic surgeon did a great job. I seen the hole before she went to the plastic surgeon & it was shockingly large, but I laid my faith in the surgeons, and they did a superb job. In just a few weeks you wouldn't have know there had been anything done.
You'll be fine Maynard...I just know it.
My Dad has had many "spots" removed over the years, his Dr. is a little pro-active about it. He's never had one come back positive, but alot of them probably would have eventually. Too many hours in the sun. Maynard, best wishes & prayers from PA.
I'am hoping everything works out good for you Maynard.The word itself is enough to cause us worry.I'll be hoping and praying it all turns out good for you.Larry
Thank you fellas,you guys are the best.I will let you know what the doctor says about it on Friday .What a worry this is,didn't sleep at all last night.
I got my appointment today for my plastic surgery and you might know,It is in August,Friday the 13th . I am ever so slightly superstitious so it probably wasn't the best day for me to have it,but I didn't have a choice in the matter.

Tell you what, to draw the bad luck away from you, I'll walk under a ladder on the 13th of August! That oughta give you some protection! But I'm telling ya, I have bad luck on most any day, so don't matter what day it is. And don't worry, those surgeons do some awesome work Maynard!
OK guys,here it is.I was to the doctors today and got some more news.First off,the test results for my breathing problem were all in and everything showed up normal,that's the good news.
As to my biopsy,It is melanoma,and that I have been told is about the worst kind of skin cancer there is because it can spread through the body.I don't know it was caught in time or not,and I won't know until they remove it.
I've always been optimistic & hopeful when it comes to this kind of thing. You will be in my prayers too Maynard. Sometimes I forget to pray every day, but I'll be sure not to forget. They will get it all!
