Saturday 7th October
Well, I wasn’t expecting that……
I had my yearly dermatology appointment today ~ yes I know, I thought it strange for a clinic at the hospital to be open at the weekend, but there we go. Normally these appointments are pretty quick…… “Strip off, and let’s check your skin….All’s good, see you next year…..”
But oh no, it was “Whoops, don’t like the look of that one on your back, we’ll take it off, as a precaution, right here, right now, into theatre you must go……..”.
So I’ve had surgery: local anaesthetic, an excision, with dissolvable deep stitches, and surface stitches which will come out in ten days time.
Wasn’t expecting that…….
But it is good to be looked after, and anything suspicious, or dodgy, then the ‘alien blob’ must be cut out and sent off to be biopsied, with results taking about two weeks.

Thinking about you, poppet
Fly high my darling
Love you forever
Praying it’s benign.

I’m on a five year clinical trial for melanoma, so I am monitored most closely; which is very reassuring.

I pray for a good result and speedy recovery! I do have an ongoing 6-month check up with my dermatologist. It’s a good routine to spot anything suspicious before it goes further!

I know exactly what you mean and except for having it done on the spot, it was the same for me. Great share of your experience! We tend to just skip through life, some of us, some of us most of the the time, until something like this shakes us awake to the fact that we are really candles in the wind!!

Yes, with no time to think, or worry, or prepare, it’s much better having it done there and then.
