In Other News, Headed To The Doctor..

[dgridley]

Bah, I'd had a couple pre-cancerous growths burned off last year. I went because of one I'd noticed on my left temple and the doctor pointed out another one he said was worse (and deeper) on my right temple and burned that off too. Now it's back again.. headed to the doctor today to see what's what. (fingers crossed..)

There's money gone I wasn't planning on.. not to mention hours spent as a walk-in.

Dave your health is time and money well spent imo :tu: I hope its turns out ok you know that :blink:

BTW how much did it cost and isnt that what the NPs fund is there for to help out NP members who are alittle short with things like this ????????????????

 

[dgridley]

Visit to doc should be just $25.. I have it, just rather not spend it if I don't have to.

My regular doctor, believe it or not, recently tried to commit suicide (going thru a divorce) and I have to see if the office is still taking appts.

I went, they'd raised the fee to $35 (ugh) and luckily I got right in and the doctor "burned" it off (to be safe) and told me to keep an eye on it again.. maybe I can just spray freon or something on it myself next time, lol

 

[weblord]

freon will make you chill as ice.
glad everything's ok, is there a homekit that you can purchase btw?

I'm sure the money you save finding those great Internet deals will help you with that $35!

Glad to hear everything is OK!

that reminds me, btw, the burning of pre-cancerous growth is somewhat advance in your country, are you referring to the same "cauterization"

(KAW-ter-ih-ZAY-shun) The destruction of tissue with a hot instrument, an electrical current, or a caustic substance.

Actually I'm meaning just the opposite.. they actually freeze the area with a spray which "burns" off the growth.
