I was told I should have that spot on my arm checked...could be cancer [View all]


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.
