You aren't
In no way are you the only one to wonder such. I've been meaning to ask my onc, I had a dark spot on my left cheek, over the last two years it got 4 times bigger, and that was the ONE THING I was going to eventually get checked to see if it was cancer.
I kept meaning to bring it up to the onc but never did. The spot? It was so obvious in pictures, since chemo has disappeared. I still wonder...

Dear Jennie
So sorry for this latest issue. Will be praying that it is something a little cream or pill can take care of.
When do you see the doc?

aahhh....here we are....all of us.....creating fresh cancer even if we don't have to. I suspect we all do it....I guess there is no cure except to have it checked out.
I'll betcha some cream will clear you up

I got a big sore on the bridge of my nose....
during treatment. I figured it was cancer (my rectal was squamous cell, if you remember, which is skin cancer). Turned out it was from the chemo, just like the sores in my mouth. It healed, but left a little patch of skin that doesn't grow....I suppose the beast felt it necessary to leave a reminder to keep me honest!
Call your oncologist, he/she is your primary care, to an extent. Make an appointment. It's all about making sure that you are comfortable...I always started my phone call with 'I know it's probably just canceritis, but....'

I have this on my face and there is a spot that has been there for months and no matter how much medicine it gets, it still never wants to disappear. And it goto to the size of a nickle one time. I was so embarrased. Sure its nothing. Let us know what you find out.

Jennie,
I honestly hope it turns out to be nothing, but a minor skin rash. But I know how you feel. Everytime I get a new ache or pain, the mind races towards the I hope the cancer isn't back scenario. Just take a deep breath and try to relax. Damn cancer really does a number on us mentally, doesn't it!

Skin cancer
Is still cancer. My grandfather died of skin cancer. It started on the top of one ear and eventually killed him in his liver. My wife was born and raised on a property in the channel country in far western Queensland (Australia) Her family raised beef cattle. Sue was in the saddle mustering cattle from a very early age. Now at age 54 she has had over one thousand skin cancers ,mostly basal cell but a few squamous cell carcinomas,burned (liquid nitrogen)off and cut out. Australians are brainwashed about sun safety and the need to get skin spots checked(melanoma is a huge killer here). I urge everybody to take skin lesions seriously. Don't forget that chemo can make you seriously uv sensitive. they are easily treated Jennie the greatest danger is ignoring them. Ron.0 -

spots
I have some spots (on my arms and neck) that I'm thinking I need to have checked. I know it's not from chemo, since I didn't do that. I am not at all going to be surprised if it's skin cancer at some of the spots.
I hope and pray yours is just one of those things, not more cancer.
*hugs*

About 6 months ago I got this hard knot on the side of my face next to right ear. Went to doctor and he felt it and said " Nope, not cancer. It's a cyst." I had myself so scared it was a tumor that when he said cyst I almost cried.
Just go see about it just in case and for your own peace of mind.
Luck to you!

face cancer
Yup just after my first bout with colon cancer I had a spot appear on my face in what my doc called the laugh crease. After getting cancer don't remember laughting much but I still had a crease. It was cancer. They removed it in half hour under local with no spread. Mine wasn't a melenoma so I was luck. They did really well on the surgery can't tell it was even there. You did good get in quick while small and boom it's gone. LOu0
