Ouch.. Ouch.. But the nurse said the incision had healed nicely and looked fine. Scabs will fall off soon. Goody.. Goody.. The doctor came in and said everything was removed as shown by tests. By "everything" he meant all the cancer. This was squamous cell carcinoma which is slightly more aggressive, he said, than basil cell carcinoma but nowhere near as dangerous as malignant melanoma which can spread readily to other organs in the body.

Yes, I hope I don't have the dreaded Melanoma. :roll: I’m feeling OK now that the bandage is removed, but I have this scar showing stitches, hopefully to be removed this coming Friday.

I agree that seeing something like that on one's bodywould freak anyone out.I'am happy that you got your's removed. No one can be too careful for these little monsters. Melanoma is a quite serious matter. Take care. How are you feeling Mardé ?

Maybe yours are in partial sympathy? :wink: :?: I hope she's recovered by now and that your sockets heal fast. It's nice to be able to use one's teeth! :lol: So it sounds like her accident and consequent removal of six roots tops your current problems with three teeth.

We weren't in touch back then and Meri wasn't blogging either. Aileni. Back in April last, Meri fell outside the house and smashed her front teeth which resulted in her having six roots removed.

But I guess if you're able to eat a baked potato,.... I'm not sure I understand your next to the last sentence.... :grin: Hi Nash! No no word yet, but hey, no problem, it was a minor op. I bet people are sick of seeing that yukky looking picture of a seborrheic keratosis! I've got to think of another post quick, to cover it up, but now I've gotta go to a church meeting. :roll: Wow, Aileni, your teeth problem sounds a lot more uncomfortable than my minor op!

You make it sound quite routine, trouble is the waiting after. It's a week since my three extractions - a humdrum business and the only waiting I have to do is keeping the denture in for a couple of weeks, that is, all night as well as day, until the sockets heal. I ate baked potatoe today so I reckon it's going very well. Small beer set against Meri's business with the broken teeth. Anyway, all the very best, Aileni.

I'm expecting all will be well. I've had a lot of these keratoses, still have, and a very few have exhibited basil cell carcinoma. Yes, Annette, when you get along in years one might try anything? But I've got so many of these little fellows (seborrheic keratoses) that it might kill the patient to remove them all. So, better to live with what you've got, right? Thank you, susan s. I appreciate your coming all the way from MadPriest's place and wishing me well. Yes, waiting for results can be frustrating. Thank you again, and my best to you. Thank you, Missy.
