In the last three days, I have seen as may doctors. They can be a pain.The Cancer doctor gave me really good news. It appears that the cancer is gone. They can't guarantee it, but it seems to be completely gone. I'll be seeing him every 4 months now for a year.
I had a small lump on the palm of my hand which has been there since September. It started growing and I was a bit concerned so I went to the family Dr. He told me that the lump or cyst as he calls it is in "no man's land" because of the complexity of the hand. He sent me to a general surgeon who looked at it and told me it's in "no man's land" etc. He sent me to a hand specialist. He told me that he suspected a foreign body, probably a splinter that the body is attacking. He told me that it is causing what is called "proud flesh" and that it can be problematic in the future. I am going to have surgery on my hand on the 17th.
I have learned a valuable lesson! No more yard work for me!!

I'm so glad that you got good news from your Cancer doctor. What a relief! Weird about that bump on your hand! Are they going to do surgery on it in the doc office? Boy that darn yard work!!! LOL
The hand surgery will be done in a surgical center by a hand specialist. It's micro-surgery. Pain in the @#$&.
Geez, how many surgeries do you want to have in 2008! How SCARY! Time off from the ol' keyboard!
I LOVE YOU!
Remember that doctors are about as competent at what they do as you are at what you do.
