It's a little thing, but . . .
I have a bandaid on my nose, and another one on my neck.
My primary care physician -- don't you just "love" that phrase? :-( -- thought it would be a good idea for me to see a dermatologist for a full-body checkup.
So the big, ugly spot on my shin turns out to be a benign tumor. The mole on my toe is just a mole.
But that spot on my neck and the spot on my nose -- she didn't like those. "Probably nothing, but let's do a biopsy anyhow. I'll have the results in a week or two."
And my stomach is churning.
Seven years ago a doctor told me "It's probably hormonal, you'll be fine after the D &C but we'll do a biopsy anyhow", which was followed by a bad pathology report, a hysterectomy, radiation and chemo. A year from hell.
I don't want to go back to that dark and scary place.
