I guess I can commit a crime

1surfermom

My sons school requires all parent volunteers to be fingerprinted. Today I went to get fingerprinted and the tech could not get my prints. It seems that I no longer have fingerprints, I guess there is nothing that can be measured on digital read. I was fingerprinted years ago, before my battle with the beast, for my teaching credential and I passed through the Department of Justice. Has this happened to anyone? I had AC,Taxol, Herceptin and Tykerb. I am really concerned because there are a group of moms who love to gossip at my sons school and if they find out I failed the fingerprint test they will think that I am some sort of criminal. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. Love Surf

Nah, don't worry too much about it
My sister doesn't have cancer nor does she have readable fingerprints. Apparently, it happens.

I have to get fingerprinted
I have to get fingerprinted for teacher certification every five years and for sub teaching now ... 5 years ago they could not get a readable print said my lines on fingers were worn down ..... I did not have any cancer diagnosis then..... it just happens as you age and your skin changes it has nothing to do with cancer it is very normal I would not worry and if parents even bring it up I would show them your fingers and say they no longer can give a deep enough imprint to read or process I cant believe volunteers need that???? Do you need background checks as well? Sue D

There are 2 ways to take prints
One is the common "here, put your finger on this goo and then on this paper". The other is a digital scanner. Ask for the scanner kind, it will detect more than the goo kind. Good luck!
