I went to the doctor a couple of days ago. Keep in mind that skin cancer runs in my mother's side of the family . She just recently had nose surgery to remove the cancer on her nose. Anyway, I had this spot on the side of my nose, up at the top. It does not look bad it is just a place where the skin has gotten real thin and it will not become normal anymore. So I went to the dermatologist and they did a skin biopsy and now I have this huge hole in the side of my nose up at the top. The senior doctor seemed really concerned. So now I have this huge hole in my nose and I'm so scared that it will be cancerous like my mother. She lost a good bit of her nose but plastic surgery fixed it. I do not have insurance that would fix it I don't think. I think that medicaid will only cover the surgery to remove the cancer. Since you guys are my family, would those of you who pray please pray for me that the skin sample that they took is not cancerous. I'm really worried about this and scared too. Thanks for listening.
Jesse
OT but you are the only family that I have
Jesse,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.Please try not to worry until you get word from your doctor about your biopsy.Keep your chin up and positive thoughts!
Don't worry Jesse stay positive ! My Mom has had lot's of cancerous ones taken off her face and body. Most are caused by being in the sun too much a a kid.
My hubby had some take off too and his was fine. Think Positive everything always gets Better !
welll i must tell you that i had one taken off with liquid nitrogen...and a golf ball size one that was on my head....and i would always cover it with my hair...he he...and than at the V.A..the surgeon gave me "novacaine" type thing in my head..i didn't feel a thing and he took it off and it wasn't cancerous...so hang in there Jesse...and yes try not to worry and be positive..we are all here for you..Bob
I will be praying for you. Don't worry until there is something to worry about. You hang in there. Melissa
Jesse, i am sure everything will be allright. I am thinking of you.

Waiting for procedures & test results is so hard! Hang in there & "keep the faith".... I'm praying for everything to turn out fine and for that spot to heal quickly!
Thanks so much critter. I don't think I would be as afraid if it didn't happen to my mother. We have both had to have moles removed but this is totally different. I sure hope everything works out for me and I'm doing a lot of praying myself.
Jesse

Just found this today. Hang in there Jesse. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Spend as much time as you can with your plants and try not to worry. I find that if I can keep busy doing something for someone else it make that "wait and see" time pass better.
sending you hugs and love along with our prayers...
Prayers and lots of hugs from all.

I will pray for you. I will also have my Christ Renews group pray for you. That is another 23 women. I know the waiting is hard. As my mother always told me....."When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Works for me.
Kelly
Oh Jesse hun..I am soo sorry to hear this news. I will keep you in my thoughts hun!
You'll be in my thoughts as prayers, too, Jesse.....please keep us posted!
I'm hoping to have a package going your way in the next couple of weeks.....I didn't forget!
Jesse, we will be thinking of you and praying that you will have peace and health. Blessings! Pam
Thanks everyone. As I sit here and read all your replies, tears come to my eyes, not because I'm sad but because I'm a part of the best group of people that I've ever known. I sure love all of you guys a whole lot and thanks for letting me be a part of this group. Thanks so much.

What ever the outcome you will be fine- I don't mean to make it nothing, but the important thing is that you went to the doctor and you will find out if it's cancer or not. If it is then taking care of it is the only thing that you can do! The other option is just not an option.
I know things have changed since I was working w/ medicaid but you might find that cosmetic surgery is considered optional and therefore not covered but "reconstructive" surgery might be covered. I may be wrong, but in either case being alive is what counts! Another thought is that if you need some cosmetic surgery and can't afford it now, you can have it done in the future and sometimes there are agencys and charities that will help w/ cosmetic/reconstructive surgery, especially when cancer is involved. So don't give in to all the "what if..." and "oh my god..."
I will be hoping for the best possible outcome for you Jesse!
I will keep you in my prayers, Jesse. I know you're frightened, but remember that God will give you the grace and the means to handle whatever comes your way.
Big hugs to you!
Big hugs to you too. You guys are the greatest.
Jesse
Keep the faith. ((hugs))
Thanks (((hugs)))
Jesse did you say when you are supose to find out ?
No, but I will call them next week when I think they have had time to process it. I figure two weeks should be long enough. So if they do not call me at the beginning of the week, I'll call them and ask. I don't like waiting, maybe I'll call them tomorrow. Yes, I think I'll call them tomorrow.
Jesse
(((Jesse)))
I know better than to tell you not to worry.... but keep the faith, and I hope you'll have a restful night!
Jesse,
I have been in such a state over my own problem that I just read this. I certainly will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all turns out great.
How did your test come out?
Yes, Jesse, did you get your results?
OH sorry I'd nearly forgotten, how are you Jesse?
As far as I know everything is okay. They sent me a letter for a follow up in August so this makes me think everything is okay. But I do have a call in to them to get a better answer. Hopefully they will call me back this afternoon so that I will know for sure. Thanks for asking.
Jesse
Please let us know!
They never called me back today so I have to call them again on Monday. I'm hoping that since they scheduled my follow up appointment in August that everything is okay. But I will call them back on Monday and I'll let you all know when I find out something definite.
Jesse
How frustrating!
Hoping/praying for good news!
Plantcrazii
your in our prayers,
Thanks everyone. I will keep bugging them until they give me an answer. I will be out of town the next three weeks but I will get DH to call them everyday until someone gives us an answer.
Jesse
