Yes, I am Paranoid, Right?

Ok, so a couple of posts ago, I mentioned that I had weird pink spots that I thought was an allergy-related thing. Well, one of them has decided to really jack with my head and expand rapidly in size to about the same size my previous Loki was before I had him removed. It’s only been a couple of weeks since this thing appeared and I was waffling on calling the doctor since I have my next follow-up in early January – and quite frankly, I have a lot of stuff coming up between now and the end of the year that I don’t really want to mess up.

But then I realized that I harp on you guys all the damn time to call the doctor to get something checked out if it doesn’t seem right. What kind of hypocrite would I be to be all “stern mom” on you and then not take my own advice, particularly since I have an aggressive form of melanoma on my medical history?

So, I made an appointment today. The doctor’s office must have my name on a sticky note next to the phone because as soon as I mentioned my name and said I needed to have someone look at this thing, she gave me an appointment for tomorrow morning. I even joked that I was paranoid and they didn’t need to make me feel even more so by getting me in so soon. I mean, it’s on the total other leg! She kinda laughed and then said, so we’ll see you tomorrow.

I really, really hope I’m just paranoid. I really, really hope that the doctor is going to look at my leg and just tell me I need to use exfoliating lotion more often. Unfortunately, I really, really am sure that I’m going to have another biopsy tomorrow though… another bullet hole for me, yay. I’m getting flashbacks to a time 3 years ago (to the month) that I had some random pink spot on my leg that I thought was nothing that turned into something that I had never expected.

Keep your fingers crossed for me…
