Small update about me.
I had my biopsy yesterday and the dermatologist said she "didn't think it was melanoma but couldn't be sure". Which left me mentally in about the same place I was before I walked into her office. So they're sending it off to pathology. I should know in about two weeks if I need surgery or not. If not, party time! If so, they're referring me to somewhere really good by where I live. So that's comforting. But, I'm still playing the waiting game at this point. Whatever information I receive in roughly two weeks. At least I'll know then what needs to be done or not be done.
I'm still working on the update at a slow pace and kinda letting myself breathe when I have anxious days. I can't wait for this to be behind me. Not just for me, but for you guys too. So that I can get going in full steam ahead mode and my mind will be 100% on One Day at a Time and not in "what the hell is going on with my body" mode.
As usual I'm being completely straight with you guys and keeping you in the loop. As soon as I know something you will too. Did I say I fucking hate this shit? I believe I did, but I'll say it again. I fucking hate this shit! But, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude about it. Which I'm successful with some days and fail miserable on others. Again, I'll let you guys know something when I know something. Hopefully my next message will be. "It was benign and I'm ready to start absolutely kicking ass on the next update!" But, as I've said I'm still playing the waiting game at this point.
As always, hope you are doing well! I myself am doing as well as I can right now! Cheers!

Cancer is no longer a death sentence! Lots of people are now surviving many forms for many years! As with everything take it 1 day at a time, but plan for a long future. Love your work, so relax we are all here for the long haul💖🖖
good luck, and take care.
Hoping for the best for you. Take care of yourself, first and foremost.
"I don't think so" is at least a good sign. Having to wait like that sucks.
Sorry to hear, but I do know, what you are talking about. Spent a week in hospital for such a topic last month. Be sure to come back stronger again
Take all the time you need, Zoey. The 'waiting game' is literally the worst kind of mental torture, so we completely understand why your mind is elsewhere right now. The fact that your doctor doesn't think it's melanoma is a massive green light, so try to hold onto that! Your health and peace of mind come way before the game. Breathe, take care of yourself, and we will be right here waiting when you're ready. Take care 🙏🏼
I hope it is benign also. Stress and especially health related stress is tough. Makes it hard to concentrate and move on. It's always in the back of your mind. As for my part I know your doin the best you can for us. Take time and relax. I wish the best for you.
