I have had 2 spots on my face removed by using Mohs. It really was not very painful and the results were great. I often go without any makeup and my 2 scars are hardly visible.

God’s blessings to you – He’s got this.

What I’m dreading, though, and haven’t made an appointment for, is a colonoscopy. I hope the results of your skin check are nothing to be too concerned about.

I had breast cancer in 2004 and thyroid cancer in 2009. My doctor ordered genetic testing at my last check up. The test was for: 14 genes associated with inherited breast cancer-related disorders and gene analysis for breast and related cancers. Fortunately my Medicare supplement covered it because the test was over $6,000!

I can relate to what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
