moved appointment...

I moved my appointment to today, I just couldn't wait any longer. When I got there, they asked me lots of questions and had two doctors look at the spot. After looking at it and talking "doctor talk", they decided that it doesn't look like cancer to them, atleast not in it's current state. This spot is currently healing. They suggested coming in when I get a new one so they can do a biopsy on one in its early stages. So, we will do that. I should feel at peace about this, but I don't. I tried to pretend like I was, but I'm not. So, that's it for now...

Dr. appointment...

I don't know much. I know that it's a skin ulcer that needs to have a biopsy ASAP. However, since I took today off to join Sarah at the zoo for her field trip, I don't want to take another day off for the biopsy before the TAKS test. So, since the test is over next Wednesday, I'm going in Thursday afternoon for the biopsy. The dr. didn't feel comfortable doing it today because he felt like he might find something that would need to be removed once he got in there. Lots of things could cause skin ulcers. Things like infections, stress, and cancer are a few. The infection is pretty much eliminated because I tried the medicine used to treat it and it didn't work. I'm not overly stressed (or wasn't when this started). So, I'm a little scared. I just want to make it through this week, get my kids ready for the reading TAKS next Tuesday and math on Wednesday, and then I can worry about myself on Thursday. We will see how it goes.

Well...

So, I'm scared to go to the doctor, but I've given in. I have an appointment for Monday to go get my spot looked at. The antibiotics helped the spot on my stomach, but not the other. Unfortunately, the remaining spot is where my mother previously had cancer, so I am scared. I'm taking a personal day on Monday to join my "niece" for her field trip to the Ft. Worth zoo. After that Russell is going to take me to the Dr. so they can do a biopsy or whatever they need to do. So, we will see how it goes...
