So I go for my regular skin checks every 6 months (yeah me) and every time I go there's always something "precancer" to burn off.
Since my last check 2 months ago I've been twice because I found 2 more suspicious areas - those were burned off/cauterized...the latest one being today.
I guess this is my lot in life now - if I am lucky - and that is a series of finding weird stuff and getting them burned off. Again...if I'm lucky.
Funny thing is, my skin looks really good...porcelain even...but I'm "at that age" - 55 to be exact
Anyhow, I'm not handling this well...mentally.
Lots of "what if-ing"
Lots of catastrophizing
Lots of loss sleep
Lots of wondering if the doctor even made the right decision to burn rather than biopsy
Your thoughts are appreciated.
