Hi Bonnie

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis - but it is good news that they have
found it early and are taking it off quickly. There are so many questions
and one begins to fear so much. Then there are even more questions and one
worries and frets. That fretting and stress is not good.

I am afraid I do not have any answers - but there if you look up MPIP on the
web there is a place there where some expert may have answers for you.

But what I can recommend is that you write all those questions down and ask
your oncologist directly. I know that when you get into those meetings, it
is so easy to forget to ask questions - so writing them down is really
helpful.

Make sure that you do remember to list any suspect moles or markings for a
check. My approach has always been - if in doubt, take it out - and quickly.

Keep in touch - friends are all here to help

Love and Healing

Ian

Subject: [fight together] cancer on my arm

Hi,
New to this group.

I have a question. I have had basal cell cancer twice on my face.

I found another section of cancer on the top of my forearm. Saw a different
derm. as she was closer. Upon exam she stated she was not sure what it was
but took a biopsy and instructed me to return in one week for surgery.
Could this time it be squamous and if so what percentage of the time does it
metastisize.

Also, I have a growth on my eye lid and it has been there for months. At
first I thought it was a sty but there were several of them. One remains,
however.

Please help. Bonnie
