I was so worried yesterday morning by the time I got to the doctor I was shaking and sick to my stomach. I got in the room, the nurse brought in all the instruments to cut me open, yikes...then the doctor came in. He looked at my chest and said, "I am not going to put a 3 inch cut on your chest, (I am thinking, yeah let's not) I am going to scrape several layers of skin down, and then you can treat it with the chemo cream." I couldn't believe it, I was absolutely relieved. He said that by exposing the cancer, the cream would treat it, without cutting me. Wow, I have never had a doctor try to save you from a terrible scar.
I have to try to remember in times like these to change the way I look at things...sounds good anyways!
So today it is terribly sore, and raw, but not an open wound. I should be getting the cream soon, and then I will look like leprosy. The nurse told me to think of it as a really good chemical peel!
Hmmmmm!
Anyways, trying to change the way you look at things, is a good idea!
