Hi all,
Just updating you all that the biopsy on my suspicious mole came back negative. Just a regular ugly back mole. I had myself completely freaked out and convinced I would have skin cancer. I guess I am a little paranoid about everything now. Done with chemo for a little over a week. Numbness and tingling gone. Still fatigued and have serious insomnia, but it's all good. Just happy to be through.... Can relax the rest of the summer!!!

    Kiersten,

    I'm so glad the biopsy came back negative. No skin cancer, no chemo - You can have a good end to the summer. Way to go!

    Yeah!! No skin cancer! No Chemo! Now is a time for rest, renewal and recovery. Let that wound heal, allow your energy level to recover and start sleeping like a baby again. I hope you have a very good summer.

    YEA good for you Kiersten. now run to the nearest party and have a goooooood time before a fart gets you to thinking your colon is on it's last legs. I think it is so natural for us to self diagnosis ourselves and I know for myself, as positive as I try to be, it is difficult not to think the worst.
    get out and enjoy the summer - you deserve a little sunshine.

    GREAT NEWS on the biospy, but I know where you are coming from when freaking out. ENJOY the summer. Have one of those drinks that comes with one of those fancy umbrella things.

    Phew! Great news. I had a mole removed from my big toe -- turned out to be nothing. Yea, perhaps we're a little paranoid -- I prefer to call it vigilant! Highly sensitive to body changes! These are good things. Enjoy the summer! Yea!
