Hooray! Just got the results of my CT scan. All good

I was so sure something would be wrong. The doctor said it’s probably just scar tissue from my old appendectomy causing a little discomfort. Such a relief I don’t have to get surgery or anything. Thank you everyone for your advice and helping me worry about it!

Currently, 87.5% of them turned out to be worthless.

May all of your future ones work out also.

When it turned out a few years ago that I did have breast cancer, I did not have a clue, had never feared it, it didn’t run in my family. So thank goodness for regular mammograms cause I’m OK now

I forgot, until Sunday night, that I was scheduled to have a couple things removed for biopsy Monday morning! I did make it on time and everything.

It's a major cringe event for me when I have to get cut. My request was to be shielded from the visuals, the numbing was a given but it required some uncomfortable injections. I survived the whole 45 minutes of cutting and stitching, more stitches than I had imagined, though. So now I have a couple weeks of healing the incision, which was deep, to heal. Once the skin fuses it will be a lot easier to endure. Since the larger of the 2 things was just below my knee on the inside of my leg, I have some physical challenges until I can bend my leg a little more. I had to sleep in three shifts last night.

After today I expect to have a lot less discomfort, and wait for the biopsy results. Glad yours turned out negative. We expect mine to but you never know so we decided to check.

I know what it’s like when they do a needle biopsy, or wedge something out. And as bad as it is,I hate getting cut myself, the waiting for results is the hardest part. I will be keeping you in my thoughts

I am not concerned, if it is cancerous, it will only be basal cell carcinoma which is far less of a problem that many other skin afflictions. For me the biggest part is getting through the part where I have stitches in both my legs. The smaller thing was also on the inside of my leg but far enough above the knee to not be a hindrance at all, hardly notice it compared to the other one!

I'll probably sleep better tonight. Thanks for the good vibes!

focus of my entire life since 1995 when I had to have a partial gastrectomy. Today I found out that I have to have a shoulder replacement. I'm used to digestive issues, but this is a whole other thing and I'm kind of nervous.
