Yesterday I had an appointment with a dermatologist which was much needed. I know that I'm pretty high risk for skin cancer and a couple of years ago I had tried to make an appt for a skin check and everywhere I called was making appointments 6 months out. Since I was traveling at the time that just didn't seem reasonable and so I didn't do it. The last 6 months or so I kept telling myself that I needed to make an appointment and I kept forgetting. Last week I got a nice big reminder. I had a patient who was close to my age in my office with malignant melanoma and was having surgery to have that removed and possibly lymph nodes etc. Scary stuff. So Monday I started calling around. And found an appointment for Thursday. So yesterday I went and got my skin checked over. I had 2 little things removed for biopsy and I guess it will take a week to 10 days to get them biopsied but I finally got in there. Now all I need to do is manage to get to the dentist.

Hoping the biopsies come back clean!
Good luck with the meds leading up to transfer.
Hope the biopsies come back okay.
Can't wait for your transfer girl!! Woohoo!!!
Kudos to you for taking care of yourself like that! I have thought to myself so many times I should have a freckle check myself but it is one of those things that always seems to fall off my to do list.
Three weeks to transfer!! Yay!!
Glad you found an appointment so quick, and hope the biopsy shows nothing cancerous!
