DEb, Lily......thanks......yes I am assuming it is..........but I am going to call today and just ask what they usually do.......and where they do it......my son asked last night, and my answer was "hmmm, actually I don't know".........LOL.........he said......really Mom!!!!!!!!!!!
The only problem is.....how deep it goes.....the chest is nothing.....she is more concerned about the "shin"............it does look nasty........did not before she cut it to biopsy.......kind of looked like a mole, very dark, but think the other Derm should have been more concerned when i pointed it out 7 months ago.......but like I always say "shit happens".........thanks for your concern......I feel the love.....

Crzay Drs. I had (and I don't even remember what it was) cancer on my face before--it was done local and did something with junk on it.-I think--so hopefully they get it all right away.
I hope everyone has a decent day--I still have my D--so I feel kind a weak today drinking a lot , but had some crackers. So I'll check back later.

Cami.....hope you feel better.......

Blondie, sorry for your loss ... you are in my thoughts.
Oh Ducky, how frustrating that the previous derm misdiagnosed you. Along with being anxious about the skin cancers, you must be plain angry. Why is your skin surgery put off until May?
Cami, it sounds like you will miss your test tomorrow. You must be somewhat weak from not being able to eat. I keep hoping that the stupid D will say bye-bye to you.
Also, like Cami, I am wishing everyone a decent day.

LOL And what really gets me I never loose weight , how unbelievable is that. OK back to doing nothing, well I am working tho.

Hi hermits- got my repaired laptop back today. Had to schelp the whole home office set up over to reconfig the laptop with the router, wireless to the printer. The young man who helped me was great. Now I just have to put the whole thing back together in the home office here at home and reload some software. It will take me into tomorrow to have it all back to normal, but could have been worse. And I have been through worse, so more of a hassle than anything.
Blondie- I am sorry about the man who lost his battle with cancer. Hugs to you this evening.
Ducky- my sister had basal cell twice on her face, and some treatments to go with it. Hopefully the one on the shin won't be too much of a problem for you. I am glad the new person caught it and pray for good outcomes.
Cami- the D sounds like it is really taking a toll on you. Praying for better days. These doctors need to help you find a better quality of life.
Despite being a b-day week, it has been a stressful week, and I plan to go swim tonight.

Good Morning Hermies--Thank u Tek--but I still have D--It stopped a itle last night so I thought OK it's gone I woke up this morning and I'm washing clothes already--does that tell u something: LOL I can't explain it, but when I get it this long it's like chemo all over again-it just won't stop and I'm barely moving and so exhausted but I'm drinking loads of ellectrlyes this time so it should help.. Damn I just want to get this damn test over with--I'm crabby u can tell right LOL
0 -
Well you have every right to be crabby IMO, Cami. D just sucks. Eventually you need to get this test done (and the D needs to end or at least give you a break). Wish I had the magic D cure for you.

Dutch I've had so many of these tests it really doesn't concern me for anxiety so I don't worry about it that way. And I amy apologizing to all of u for my outburst this morning--Please understand, I haven't eaten and I'm hungry too LOL and that makes me more unstable--but anything I eat makes it worse--U'd think I would be thin and I'm not I'm like a blow up doll.
It'a raining here again--with a few flakes involved so we'll see what happens. But I think it's for most of the weekend--who knows anymore. I was thinking about skin cancer-OK I think differently I know. But I had it on my face on my cheek and they had to get it off of course, so after I opened up Vitamin E capsules and put it on my face for one week and there are no scars whatso ever. Just thought I'd let u know.

When I get just so hungry I lose my manners. Cami, did you do something that required an apology? Because I didn't see it

Hi hermits- I am glad to be to friday! This girl needs some downtime once again. Got a bit of work, along with some other things to do today.
Cami- I am so sorry the D has taken over. I know you are drinking a lot of fluids, but you may be at risk for dehydration. I don't want to see you end up in the hospital for that. But on the other hand, if the other docs are not helping you, a trip to the ER may be the only thing left to get attention around this? Keeping you in my prayers today my friend.
Ducky- glad things are turning from snow to rain. My NJ friend who was here last weekend told me the same on e-mail this morning.
Teka- working on my second cup of pinon coffee this morning. I may make myself a breakfast treat today with some lox and bagels I have in the fridge.
Wishing everyone a good weekend, whatever you are doing. April is coming up soon!

The weeping cherry in full bloom late last week. It's starting to wane now, and my only flowering tree (planted in the memory of my father). I planted in memory of him as we used to have one in our yard in CT where I grew up and always would look at it together when it bloomed in the spring.

Teka u'r so sweet--I've been complaining all morning-----
Oh talking about trees there are a few that bloom for like a week or 2 then just turn to leaves and their beauty is gone (to me) I wish they would stay blooming for a long period. I don't know th name and if u get it all over but in May there is a tree here that the whole tree is deep purple for about a month and it's my favorite one the color is so pure, then it just gets leaves again. I always remember the houses that have that tree and go to enjoy it every yr.

Jazzy...your friend is right......it is raining now.....will rain much heavier tomorrow 1-3 inches, and will carry over into Sunday, and early Monday.......Imagine if this was snow.........Temps are warming up, but I'm sure not for good........
My grandaughter has her first softball game on April 1st....she plays for 2 teams and is a pitcher, and a 2nd baseman........this girl if amazing...she is only 13, and already 5ft. 6.....no one believes her age......on 1st base they call her stretch.......nothing gets by her.....can't wait to see her play again....its been a long winter.....Here she is.......her name is Makayla........

Thought you would like this one too!

Cami, so sorry that your D is sticking around. I am worried that you can't eat.
Jazzy, turquoise toes sound bouncy ... and happy ... perfect for future Friday dances a la Teka's penquins. Where are you going on the next trip?
Ducky, have fun with the pup.
I just awoke ... not sure what I will do this weekend. Since I am retired, I feel like all days are week end days.

Hey Cami....just saw your advice about vitamin E....will certainly try it...from what I hear vitamin E and C are good for the skin........thanks for thinking about me.....The worst one is on my shin, and I am not sure what procedure she will use......I am hoping for Mohs.......it takes forever if they have to keep cutting, but it is the best according to all I have read, and all the advice I have gotten from so many caring friends on this and other threads..........hope things change for you.....and as much as we hate hospitals don't allow yourself to get dehydrated, and maybe your daughter is right......
I know your test is important but even more important is you getting back on track, and sometimes the IV is the fastest way to get back your fluids and your strength.......
Weather here is lousy too, but as I said to Jazzy...at least it isn't snow.........so you be good to yourself.........

Sally- I am going to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I went to grad school 30 years ago at the Univ. of Texas at Arlington and still have some good friends who live in that area. One of my besties, who lives in Fort Worth, wanted me to come celebrate birthdays together (we are March babies) but with schedules, beginning of April was better. There is going to be a joint birthday party (4/5) at one of our favorite places near the university that was part of our stomping grounds back in the 1980s. A little trip down memory lane and some of the best times of my life!
The friend mentioned above came out to help me in AZ, when I went to have the internal radiation treatments there. Part of this trip is for her to see me, and that I am doing well a year later post treatment. Photos and the like are fine, but people really do need to see you in person after the worst of it that they go through with you. I am taking she and her husband out for a nice dinner too as a special thank you. And she is getting a super nice birthday present too!
The only part that is looking a bit iffy right now is a planned trip to stay in the Dallas area to see an old friend (also supporter) upon my arrival. I used to work with him in the 1980s in the oil industry. Both myself my friend having the party have been trying to reach he and his wife, with no success so far. He knew I was coming out for a visit, we talked about it late last year, but has also had some recent health challenges again. He is severely diabetic and we are worried something is not right. I am giving it until this Sunday, when I will cancel my plans to go stay in Dallas overnight and just spend all my time in Fort Worth. There is always a chance he may surface and may want to come to the party too. We remain hopeful.
I leave next Thursday 4/3 and return sunday afternoon 4/6. Nice long weekend visit! Its a quick trip between NM to TX.

Got this from my next door neighbor this morning...this was sunset at the end of our street last night.....that is the Cape May Lewes Ferry in the picture.......

Jazzy, I hope your diabetic friend turns out to be fine.
When I last posted I had only seen the previous page. Ugh ... I hate when I forget to check if a new page has been started and my post ends up in the middle of it.
Ducky, are both your homes on the water?
Teka, I lilacs too. My butterfly bush which blooms from mid-summer on keeps the lilac color in the yard but not the wonderful scent.

Sally..........no, my shore home is close to the water.......This is the end of my street at my beach house...........my home in the Philly suburbs is not, but directly behind my house at the end of the yard is a running brook, and the entire back is wooded.....my home backs up to Collenbrook Farm, which is a historical 1862 Farmhouse and is declared a historical site, so nothing can be built behind my home....it is beautiful in all 4 seasons......................Below is Collenbrook Farm directly behind my home in the Philly suburbs..
