I went to the doctor today and had the stitches removed from where they took the 7 moles off last week. To recap, 2 of the moles were removed becasue they where in a bad location (one by the bra strap and the other on top of my foot) and she removed 5 other moles "to be safe." Well, 3 of the 5 moles came back as pre-cancerous. She was quite surprised by that and re evaluated the area in which the moles were removed (middle of my back) to make sure no more needed to be removed.
She said this is good that we caught it as this stage and someting we will have to keep a close eye on in the future. I asked her how I was suppose to do that since I am single and can't really see my back to examine any moles. She suggested when I am home to have Mom look at my back every time and also every month or so have Mom take digital pictures of my back and the upload them on my computer. That way I can closely examine to see if there are any differences.
She (was my general doctor) is going to forward the lab results to Dr. Bell ( my Oncologist who did the hysterectomy) so she is aware of the situation. I don't forsee having to do anything else but keep a very close eye on the moles.
I am heading home tomorrow and meeting Delaine and Deidra in Edgerton to get my hairxcut and then I will head home to Chandler have dinner with the folks and spend the afternoon with them and then we will go to Pizza Ranch in Edgerton for supper and I will be back in Siox Falls tomorrow night.
Love ya all, Vonda
