Synchronicity again? I went for my annual physical yesterday. Was all worried about blood pressure and so on, but the doc sez it's incredibly healthily low, lower than it has been for a while. Probably related to no longer living with SHex (Shit Head Ex). Get the mole removed. If you're lucky you can get by with one of those procedures where they shave it off rather than gouge it out, and the biopsy will be fine. I think my GP is great, but the one time he let me down was not reacting quickly enough to a mole I had on my left arm that I bugged him about for a few years before he finally sent me to a specialist who sent me for surgery and rather quickly too. It wasn't cancer, but it was severely dysplastic, which is "thinking about becoming cancer." I had to have two biopsies done - the first time to find out what it was about, the second time to make sure they had got all the bad stuff out the first time (hence a second biopsy). I have a hole in my arm now and feel like I have to wear an armband whenever I'm wearing short sleeves because I think everyone's going to notice. Maybe they don't, but I do. Better safe than sorry, my friend - get it taken out. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
