Went to the doc
Question:
LOL!!!!!!! That was cute!!! THanks for helping lift my spirits and calm my nerves! — ~Heidi~
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well if I was freaked out before the appointment enough I am now! Been referred to another doc to remove FOUR moles and sent to pathology……the waiting kills me. I need this right now (or ever)….I just feel my grip loosening right now…..Im not sure if Im going to be all I need to be in all aspects with this added stress and anxiety on my shoulders now. But I guess we all manage some how right? Yes, we usually do, Heidi. If anything, I think we handle real trauma better than normies, though sometimes we pay for it when they are over. BUT! the good news is that most suspicious moles end up being benign. At least once they are removed they won’t be able to cause trouble. Since you’re upside down, wonder why they didn’t fall off! Yes, my dear, calm down…I’m sure things are fine. Try to focus on the positive. Even if there is some problem, caught early, everything can be fixed.

Thank you, Ian. That is very relieving to know about most moles not being skin cancer. I had never heard that. I usually try to research most med problems and medications but I stopped doing so much because soon I "had it all". Every symptom, every side effect, and every failure rate. (damn anxiety) So, thanks for the info. And I am a classic case of not getting them checked. Had them for a few years but was too nervous to go. Then I realized….I can get rid of this one source of fear and anxiety if I JUST GO to the DOC. lol…sometimes Im slow but with people like you and ASAP giving support I think this long month may be much easier. Thank you (((((Ian))))) — ~Heidi~

With the hole in the ozone layer and the aussie lifestyle, skin cancer is almost an epidemic down-under. However, if caught early (and most take a while to really get going), its easily treated. The problem is that people just won’t go and have anything suspicious checked out. Which is a great shame. I don’t know if its the case elsewhere, but in Oz we have mobile breast cancer screening units where women can have mammograms at no cost and these (and other measures) are having a positive effect on lowering the death rate for this type of cancer. I think they really need to do something similar for skin cancer. Ian

Yes, you will shoulder the stress this is causing, and after it is all over, you will be very proud that you took the time to keep your body healthy. When you start to freak out with your thoughts, instead, tell yourself that you are getting the situation handled and that you are one heck of a smart lady for doing so. Sending you a smile! Take care, Liz

Thank you so much Anne for telling your story, it helped me to remember that Im not the only one in the world going through this. Sometimes that reminder is enough to make me think "I can handle it too" the actualy waiting, the thoughts, and the anxiety it produces. Thank you again ((((Anne)))) for your support — ~Heidi~

It’s nerve-wracking, I know. (Went thru this with a "bad" Pap smear series last year and a cervical biopsy. All’s well; whew.
