The skin-ny

Skin Stuff:

Mon, Jan 19 --
Had my regular skin exam (every 3 months). I had 6 more biopsies (3 back, 2 abdomen, 1 side). They hurt. Healing takes weeks. What a b*tch. Results in about 2 weeks. Keep in mind, my derm removes things that she would probably just choose to "watch and wait" on a normal person. I'm always amazed when she wants to remove something that looks like a ballpoint pen mark to me... but she knows what to look for and her track record is excellent!

Sarcoma Stuff: 

Wed, Jan 21 --
My genetics counselor emailed me and said to expect my long-awaited results by Feb 2... which is not soon enough to begin radiation on the 28th. So, yes, treatment has been postponed again. Been waiting over 6 weeks now. Becoming a joke.

Other Stuff:

Pelvic MRI was good. No worries there; no further discussion here.

Next steps --
Same as my last post, only we don't have a firm start date.
