This week has been crazy.
(We get that a lot around here!)
Here's the quick story...
2 years ago-little lump in my ear lobe, didn't hurt, I ignored it.
1 year ago- little lump started to hurt, skin felt weird over it, I called Dr.
10 months ago- Dr removed little lump.
A week or so later- Dr called, lump was benign, rare, and she didn't get it all. I was in hospital with other problems so I told her I would come back in 'later'.
Last month- noticed little lump was back, called Dr, she removed the notaslittlethistime lump.
A week or so later- Back to Dr's, benign, rare and still some there- referred to a surgeon who specializes in skin cancer removal.
Last Thursday- 7 hours of Moh's surgery=really nasty open wound covered by huge bandage.
Last Monday- more tissue removed, another big bandage and referral to plastic surgeon for
repair of yucky ear lobe and cheek with a big hole in it. Original diagnosis was wrong- something even more rare. Still benign, but locally very aggressive and destructive. Trevor of course took nasty pictures, but I will spare you.
Two days ago- Plastic surgery. Not to make anything pretty- just to try and look normal.
Thanks to everyone who has helped with my kids, brought in food, called to check on us or helped in any other way. We appreciate it!!!
My results came back clear of all tumor.
My ear is repaired and though I will have to have it re-pierced in a few weeks Dr. Chick did a great job. Thanks Dr. Chick!
Moral of the story: If any of you ever find a little lump anywhere that a little lump shouldn't be- don't wait to get it taken care of!!!
