Skin biopsies yesterday

Hi everyone.

I had a dermatology appointment yesterday and the doctor found two spots that he didn't like - one on my arm and one on my leg. I had biopsies done on both and will find out the results in a week or two. The funny thing (if it can be funny) is that my husband also had an appointment and the doctor found a spot on his leg, too. We are both walking around with big bandages on from the biopsies and wondering what the news will be. My husband had a skin cancer diagnosis before I had my bc diagnosis last year, but he had surgery to have it removed.

If it's not one thing, it's another.....

    I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts and hubby too that these are nothing serious. I know the waiting is difficult. I think I got my results back in a few days but it could have been a week. Hoping it will be good news. Glad that you went and had this done.

    Nothing yet
    I'll post as soon as I know anything.

    Thanks everyone. You make me cry (or maybe it is just the Tamoxifen and lack of sleep).

    We are both fine!
    We got the results of our biopsies in the mail and there aren't any problems with either of us. No further treatment needed (although I'm still healing from the biopsies).

    Oh, I never told you guys that the arm they did the biopsy on was my "bad" (lymphodema) arm. I asked before they injected me with numbing medication about how that shot (and the biopsy)would affect my lymphodema and they said it should be fine. I have a hole in my arm about the size of a dime right now. My lymphodema has been acting up a little bit, but it isn't bad.

    Thanks for all of your support. You are all great!

    the good news... if there were any in the skin cancer arena
    is that most of it is so easily curable. Cut it or "burn(freeze)" it and it's gone.
    Living in Florida most of my friends have experienced this by the age of 40. Some many many times.

    I am so glad that all was
    I am so glad that all was well. Hooray. Keep an eye on the arm and don't hesitate to call your doctor with any problems. As careful as we can all be, there are times when that arm might need treatment or a procedure and we have to deal with that. Glad it is not giving you any big problems. Just be watchful.
    Again, so glad that there was no sign of cancer for either of you. A double celebration. Twice the cake and ice cream.
