I was told I should have that spot on my arm checked...could be cancer

[Omaha Steve]

I was donating platelets at the Red Cross. My phlebotomist said my spots could be the BIG C. I just got home from the dermatologist. They are nothing to worry about. He could freeze them and remove them IF I wanted. I said no and came home.

You might remember about a month ago, a CAT scan of my diaphragm was also negative.

Today is a great day, in spite of the crappy weather.

5. Glad to hear you are fine.

I've had a couple, or so, frozen. And about 3 cut out.
My dermatologist says I'm paying the price for my times in the southwest deserts.
And use sunscreen.
