Quick check in

I go to the doctor tomorrow for a surgery follow-up visit. I think it's really unlikely that they found anything with my biopsies, but I'd like to hear it from the surgeon. My stepdad thought that they would have called me if there was melanoma. I don't know if that's true, but I also think it's very unlikely that they found that. Even if it's the non-life-threatening skin cancer, the surgeon removed enough surrounding tissue that I'm already good. I also hope that he tells me it's OK to take a bath, because I bought a bunch of holiday bath bombs and bubble bars at Lush today. They didn't say specifically NOT to take a bath, but I figured it was probably not a wise thing to do at this point. I also don't know if soaking will make my skin tapes come off too soon. Anyway- wish me luck! I don't go until tomorrow after work.

From my recent experience -- the bad news comes pretty quickly after the biopsy.

You are also probably correct -- a soak wouldn't be a good idea until the surgeon says so...

Thanks ItPF: I hope you are doing OK with all of your medical stuff. I'm glad that you are almost done with chemo and hope that you continue to get GOOD news. Take care!

Good luck! I'll be thinking of your back pain when they're taking my tooth out today...

Good luck! In my experience too, the only call you with the bad news, but not with the good.

They would have called. I wish they would call when it isn't serious, also, but I think you are fine. Still, I know you will worry, so I hope tomorrow comes quickly.
