On the Road to Recovery

This is Saturday, February 4th. Two days ago my Dermatologist did the final op on my right outer ear, feeling that she got all the nasty cancer cells.  She removed quite a nice sized hunk of ear. No melanoma, for which I am very thankful..Now for ten days of healing, bound with dressing.  I feel ok but challenged, of course.

As I look back, I stand amazed at how soon the cancer erupted and grew.  I should have been more aggressive in treatment, no doubt.  That is in the past.  Now I hope to keep on top of things.  My Dr. says that in one’s 80’s the cancer inhibitors loose some power so latent cancer can spring up a bit easier.  Live and learn!

    So glad you are on the road to recovery. My mom has had cancer cells removed from her forehead and nose. Not pleasant, but so good to know that the doctor is vigilant and they can take care of it right away before it becomes horrible. Keeping you in my prayers – love to you and Anna Ruth. ❤

      So good to hear from you, Nancy. I have things in common with your dear Mother! That makes my day. Just tell her to keep checking regularly. I think I will request every three months. Take care, our dear Nancy. We think of you often!!
