Well, I am a major whimp when it comes to needles, and I have a docs appointment to have 3-4 moles looked at. The appointment is in 3 hours, and with a history of skin cancer in the family, father has the non-malinoma type, brother has had superficial malinoma, I have a strong feeling that the doc is going to want to remove at least 1 today! I have been putting it off for WAY too long, as my parents and brother have been bugging me about this one on my neck for over 4 years! Now, after beeing in HI for 2 1/2 yrs. I am a little worried that it could push that line I've been walking, and go towards that dangerous area.<p>Please pray that I can be calm about this, especially if the doc wants to remove 1 or more today. I actually hope that he will refer me to dermatology, so I can further prepare for that needle.<p>Thanks in advance.<p>Tigger

Praying....let me know how it turns out...
Hugs,
Twiisty

Here's praying that you stayed calm during the visit... [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Considering I didn't read this until AFTER the appointment... [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img] <p>
Let us know how everything went.<p>((((HUGS))))

Turns out it was just me over reacting. Doc didn't even feel it necessarry to remove any of them. He said that it was better that I did come in, just to be certain they were normal, especially with my family history.<p>Thanks for all the prayers.<p>Tigger

COOL!

Tigger,<p>The most wonderful thing about Tiggers....is that they are OK. :-) Their tops are made out of rubber; their bottoms are made out of springs...and they always bounce back.<p>Glad to hear that you are OK. <p>MJ<p>[ May 14, 2002: Message edited by: MaryJanes ]</p>

Well, Tigger, I am glad I didn't see this until the crisis was over so I didn't have to agonize. When someone here is anticiplating something scary or unpleasant (Like needles! Yikes!) I get so worked up, I pace like a cat in a cage.<p>You know, I have a couple moles that should be looked at...I should call the vet and see if I can get in.<p>So, Tigger, you know what to do, don't you? Stay out of the sun, wear a sun hat, wear sunscreen and at night before bed, moisturizer.<p>I am so relieved they turned out to be nothing.<p>Love<p>Catnip =^^=

PS They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy,
pouncy <p> Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun<p>PSS Glad you got this taken care of. I had one also that hurt and I ignored for 4 years. I wasn't afraid, it just fell to the bottom of my priority list. It was pre-cancerous. I got it removed.<p>MJ
