Holy Moley
okay, bad pun. I had three moles taken off last week, and finally got the results back on Monday. They weren't as good as we'd hoped, and I have to go back in a few weeks to have more cutting. Doctors are relentlessly flippant about these things, as they have to be I guess, but we've heard it all before. I just want to get it over with. They'll be recutting the moles to see if they can get all the bad places this time, which should just require stitches and some rest. Then if they do...I'm home free for awhile! If not, I go under the ol' knife at the hospital and get to set off metal detectors with my staples like last time. We'll just wait and see.
Reed and I have been researching again (nothing like a scare to get you interested in breakthroughs again) and have found a few things we'll bring up at the oncologist next week. one is the cancer vaccine possibility, another is a skin cancer cream, also found here. There are also some supplements that could help boost immunities against cell mutations, and I'm up for anything.
Please don't feel you have to say anything to me about this. It makes alot of people uncomfortable. I know I have great family and friends who support me regardless.

In the meantime, if you are bored, read "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff. I really love this story, and love the philosophy in it. My friend gave it to me in high school, and rereading it only shows new things. It's good stuff.
