I had a doctors appointment today at 3:00 to get a couple of spots checked out. One in particular was on the side of my leg. I have had a funny feeling about that spot for over a year now, but never did anything about it. Well today the doctor pretty much confirmed my hunch and the hunch of most of my friends who kept saying “you need to get that checked.” He scraped it a bit and looked at it under the microscope and said that he was 99.9% sure that it was melanoma cancer. So, he referred me to a specialist and told me that they will most likely “punch it out” - which basically means they will core drill a damn hole into my leg. He told me to think of a paper hole punch - yeah that made it better! The specialist will have to determine how deep it is right now, what stage it is and how much has to be taken out.

I am not really too scared about the fact that it is cancer, probably because I have had a feeling for a long time that it was cancer - but I am scared to death of them removing it. I know they will numb me, but that just seems like such a horribly painful place to do that. So anyways, I have an appointment with the specialist on 07/17/07 and I am a little bit scarred of that one, I am really hoping they do not do anything during that appointment. I will keep you posted.

I have seen this posted on a couple other websites and it is really funny and really true!!!  So I am posting it for all of you to enjoy too.
