 Subject: A question about cancer -Message: I know this isn't a medical site but I also know so many of you are great resources! I may be getting worked up too soon, but my doctor had told me I could call in for the results of the biopsy on a mole I had on my back. So I called in, the nurse didn't give me the results - said the doctor had to 'sign off' on it. She called me back and he wants me to come in and talk to him. So, needless to say I'm a bit concerned. I've done a lot of research on the web about this but can't find a whole lot of information. Does anyone have any experience with cancerous moles? Are they considered a form of skin cancer? What information does anyone have? Thanks - Moi |

Last year I had a mammogram (actually for quite a while I was on the 6 month plan) although this time it did require more tests. An ultrasound to be exact. I was a basket case but didn't let on. Everybody I talked to said not to worry because alot of times they turn out fine but easier said than done. I had the test done the day before I went on vacation and the radiologist was nice enough to read it before I left. It turned out to be nothing so, Ruth, don't always think the worst! Everything they do is JUST precautionary. |

Would you believe that in all the research I did 'basil cell' never popped up?? I had forgotten all about it too! Hol, thank heavens your test turned out alright - and thank you for the words of encouragement, they are muchly appreciated. See, on my mothers side my great-great grandmother died of stomach cancer, her daughter, my great grandmother died of breast cancer, her daughter, my grand aunt died (in her 50's) of breast cancer and my grandmother, their sister and daughter died of colon and lung cancer. So, I do tend to be a bit touchy when it comes to this type of thing. I'm just going to try to take it easy this weekend and not get worked up - thank you again ladies! |

But I can say that there are indeed plenty of instances that patients have received news of something suspicious(*&^%$#@!~ and in the end, fortunately, it proved to be either a false positive or an out and out negative. Doctors now days are so afraid of being sued that they will *test you to death* so don't worry about any disease! Please Ruth, keep us posted, and I will ask a special prayer for you today. You know we will all keep you in our thoughts and prayers and hope that the news is an all clear. |
| Hol IP: 68.38.136.222 10/13/2006 15:06:37 | RE: A question about cancer - Message: Ruth, just because a doctor wants to talk to you don't think the worst. It might be something just as simple as "we have to keep an eye on it." He's just looking out or you. Please keep us posted and I'll surely say an extra prayer for my friend. Supposedily basil cell (what Cheryl mentioned) is very common, at least I think, so just look at EVERYTHING with a positive attitude. I know easier said than done or you'll go crazy if you do anything else. Isn't growing old fun???????? |

| Moi IP: 66.215.185.202 10/16/2006 11:06:04 | RE: A question about cancer - Message: Well, it's invasive malignant melanoma and I will be getting a chest x-ray and an appt with a surgeon to remove a large area around the mole. That's all I know for now. Hopefully ..... well ... hopefully all will work out fine. |

| Hol IP: 68.38.136.222 10/16/2006 16:26:29 | RE: A question about cancer - Message: Yes do keep us updated. Hopefully it was caught early and the doctors will perform their magic! You know you're always in our thoughts and prayers!!!!!!!!!!! |
