The first was early this morning, at the dermatologist. Last
winter, he diagnosed basal cell cancer on my one shoulder blade and referred me
for surgery. So he checked and that healed to his satisfaction. While there, he
froze (ice-zapped) a half a dozen spots on my back. We are concentrating on any
spots/moles that are near the bra line, etc. because he agrees that at my age
it is safer to do that than to risk my accidentally scratching one of them open
and getting infections. I do not have to see him again until next year. Nice.
The second was right after lunch, at the breast care imaging
center. They did a mammogram and an ultrasound and a physical evaluation. No
major discomfort from the tests, but I am still peeling little pink stickies
off my personal person. The results of that, six months after the lumpectomy
and lymph biopsies, were good, as well. We repeat in six months.
But it did tire me out a bit so I’ll post this and relax
until later this evening. Tomorrow I must visit the oncologist in the morning.
Then next week, a small dental adjustment of the dentures, and it is looking
clear for a while after that...
Rolling along...
