well guys this might be a long one ... sorry
As some of you know I have been battling a cold for almost a week so I decided I should go to the doc and see if I have broncitis again.
So I call and my regular doc is unavailable and I get this guy who is zooming thru the exam and of course he has a student with him so she is poking at me too. I didn't have too much anxiety cuz my hubby came with until.... he says " how long have you had that spot on your forehead". I've had this little mole for a really long time and never gave it much thought until he says that "it looks suspious" and I need to have a biopsy taken of it (great). then he sees the one on my arm and decides I need one taken of it too.
and of course he has to throw in that 90% of the time it's nothing (which of course starts me thinking about the other 10% of the time)
so by now I am freaking out so he adds that there will be minimal scaring (and I'm thinking - YEAH ON MY FOREHEAD !!!)
so now I have an appointment at the end of September to have a core biopsy taken .
I am thinking about going to see my regular doc and see what she says but they are in the same practice so I doubt that she will second guess him.
I am hoping maybe someone here has had this done and can let me know what's going to happen so I am prepared. I feel like if I know exactly how it goes I can be prepared for it . I'm absolutely petrefied(sp) of needles but I can make it thru(after all I have given birth to 4 kids and I know it won't be that bad)
sorry for the rambling on and on guys ... I'm just a little freaked about all this !!!
your friend,
Sandy
