Today is part two of my skin cancer journey...

Today is part two of my skin cancer journey. I have been using cream on my forehead cancer and it has become red and showing signs of flaking - meaning it is working! It should take a month to cure.

I am due today Thursday, New Zealand time, to get another biopsy on my face which could actually remove the cancer there if things go well, and a biopsy on my right arm, which hopefully shows nothing.

Fingers crossed!

Haven't heard officially..

but if there is a continuing problem they'd call me in to see the doctor.Feel pretty good about it. And thanks all for your concern! Have a great weekend when it comes around.

The actual seven stitches are out...

and looking good. Haven't heard about the lab report, though. The health centre are supposed to ring me when they get some news. The one on my forehead is progressing well - about two weeks and on track.

No the incision is healing quick...

the GP said your face heals quick. My other one is healing ok; its a bit red looking, and I get cream put on twice a day. Its worth about $75 kiwi, but with Govt subsidy cost around $18.Pretty good really!

Plaster is off..

to reveal half a dozen stitches in a an angled cut close to my ear; hopefully this will do the trick!

Best wishes with it all Hutts

we'd make a good couple - you with your face and me with my hair. How funny! Seriously though, hope it all works out well in the end.

Actually I have seen purple plaster

there was a fad for a while to have different colours of plaster for kids.

Thanks friends...

I have a big piece of plaster on my face - and they all take a peek - for a couple of days. Stitches out next Wednesday, and by then news should be back from the lab saying its all ok!

Hope the news was good today, Hutt.

Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part of all.
