I have been focused on the diseases I have and not the ones I could get and skin cancer wasn't even on the radar.
I had a biopsy taken a couple weeks ago and the lab test came back today - positive for cancer. Not a real big deal, though, at least I don't think so. It was a real small spot and they think they got it all even though it was a fast-spreading variety. I have a follow-up in a couple weeks to see anything is remaining. I'm not too worried.
And if that isn't bad enough, I had to go off the mtx to prepare for my knee surgery and my rheumy wanted me to stay off to see if I would continue in remission -- nope, didn't work out that way. Started flaring -- extreme fatigue, joint pain, dripping nose, cough, shortness of breath, the whole 9 yards. So, rheumy put me back on mtx a couple weeks ago -- its just now beginning to kick in and I'm feeling a little better.
I'll get a candle on for Squiggled. On edit: The candle is in-place for Heather. Can anyone think of others that I might have overlooked? Thanks, vw
