Medical Update

I went to the Dermatologist today, to have some skin growths looked at. I actually saw a nurse practitioner, rather than a doctor. The ugliest growth was something benign, that she didn't even want to biopsy, but to her trained eye a spot on my forehead was suspicious. She cut off a bit for testing, and I've now got some stitches. It opened up and started bleeding about 5:30 but thankfully stopped on it's own.

I also went to another clinic and gave a vial of blood for testing, in preparation for a physical a week from Tuesday.

I'm glad you're getting these things checked out and hope all turns out to be benign.

Thank you. I was so sure the ugly black growth was malignant melenoma. I had a spot of it for real, years ago, and it has to be removed quickly.
