Son of a...

Jury's back in on Sauron the molomancer. Meet Mr Malignant Melanoma! They think they got it all, but in order to be sure, time for more surgery! Damn, damn, damn!

I know it could be worse. The whole thing got nowhere near my lymphatic system, and this new surgery is apparently standard procedure for when Moles reveal themselves to be evil fuzzy little traitors.

But I didn't really think it was serious. I thought the world and his dog was making a fuss about nothing. Dammit, I trusted my GP! He told me not to come back until the mole was the size of a penny. What the f**k? Apparently it's the thickness that matters; a thin mole is .7/.8 mms, a thick one is 3 or 4 mms. Mine was 1.2 mms, and it was far smaller than a penny. Had I followed doctors orders the damn thing might have started its own mining operation long before anyone noticed!

Well, I guess we're all tired and work too hard, and we all make mistakes. And no injections this time, good old general anaesthetic administered via gas. It's standard, it's nothing, and I know it. Still...

Damn!

*Hugs back* Thank you Trish.

Well better safe than sorry. Will have my fingers crossed for you *hugs*

Cheers! You are right of course. They're going to get a plastic surgeon to look at my arm - suddenly my mind's eye sees nothing but Dr Strangelove over and over again!

Caught it in time though, hopefully.

Hugs and, since I can, prayers.

I am embarrassed that you should pray for me when so many across the earth have so much greater need and deserving. But I am grateful anyway. Thank you.

Adding one more doesn't increase it much ;-)

[falco-biarmicus.livejournal.com]

Anyway I can help - just let me know.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

You being you is help enough:-) all I can do is thank you for your love and concern.

Any idea of when the next couple of full moons are? I am wondering when would be a good time for us to get together.

Check out my lj -their is a post about it for you from a few days ago. Great minds must think alike :)

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

I've just found it. Will get back to you asap!

You have already done plenty! Without you, Larians, and other members of the stabface posse, I wouldn't have bothered to continue harrassing the doc, and this might not have been caught until it hit stage II (1.5 and over).

Lots of love and thanks to you!

Blimey. So he really was an evil bastard after all! "Better safe than sorry" never rang truer. When have you got to go back in?

As an aside - thank you for the lovely pressies. Haven't had a chance to use either of them yet, but I'm sure it won't be long before I do.

I know! A black blip less than the size of a sixpence - potentially fatal! How ridiculous is that?

Still, key word is 'potentially.' They have him and now they are just making sure he can't come back. No dates yet, BUPAman (yup, we're hurrying this along) is checking the lesion out this friday.

I am really glad you liked the pressies. We thought they were very funky!

Dont worry, it will be okay.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Thanks. I know you are right, I just nearly fell off my chair when I learned - too used to treating it like a joke I think!

eek!

But are they going to send a team of highly trained scientists ina really tiny sumbarine to deal with any possibility of the bad guy coming back ?

Will one of them have a dark secret to hide ?

Will two of the fall in love whilst navigating your funky bloodstream ?

Will the sumbarine be yellow ?

Re: eek!

The sub will indeed be yellow. Applicants are being interviewed right now. So far only dwarves can apply, due to the NHS trying to save money by cutting down on shrink battery output.

perfect icon btw!
