I've never done it before, but I do have some moles (had them my entire life) that I would like checked out officially. Thank you for giving me the push I needed to make the call.Katiehttp://www.diabeticadvocate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-69723747812688266402013-02-16T16:09:04.147-08:002013-02-16T16:09:04.147-08:00The minute my new insurance is effective, I will m...The minute my new insurance is effective, I will make an appointment.<br /><br />A few years ago I went to a dermatologist to have a mole on my scalp that was bugging me removed. No problem with that one, but he spotted one on the side of my face that was suspicious. He took it, send it for tests, and then he had me come back in so he could take more. I had forgotten how important this is - especially after living in California and then Florida.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834565473474357037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-73632437929680712992013-02-15T18:23:50.511-08:002013-02-15T18:23:50.511-08:00Oh Meri...I can't imagine.

It has ridges in it now. She will be taking it off. Video was great, had my older two watch it as well. But your posting was very emotional on this end and I can't imagine it on your end. I hope you are able to get rest as that is one thing we have in common is having 4 kids and 3 with T1.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345368100461415938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-86346268159002244692013-02-14T10:28:22.962-08:002013-02-14T10:28:22.962-08:00Meri, I love you.

After my husband being dx'd with "just a basal cell carcinoma" a few weeks back I have my own skin check scheduled too. I have thought of you and Ryan, and the boys endlessly since "just a basal cell carcinoma" came into our lives....and I know you are making a difference to SO many people by posting this today. People NEED reminders! Thank the good lord your check was clear. ((HUGS)) I know today is hard for you...we love you Meri!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-9195313442861179952013-02-14T09:01:08.006-08:002013-02-14T09:01:08.006-08:00Meri, thanks for the stern warning.

Every year when we do our cancer unit, we show this very video to our students. Of the 80 kids, aged 16-18, I would guess that 80% become emotional about it and 10% know someone who has had it. I am so sorry for what you have gone through, you are a strong woman and have the love and support of the DOC. I will be sharing your post with everyone I know. God bless you and your family.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330289568473649717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-71862598078123297492013-02-14T08:03:04.923-08:002013-02-14T08:03:04.923-08:00Meri, I love you so much - And just like George, I...Meri, I love you so much - And just like George, I'm thanking you for this important message while bawling at my computer !!<br />Xoxoxo!k2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-22753780425490934642013-02-14T07:56:51.474-08:002013-02-14T07:56:51.474-08:00Such an important message.
