Do you mind saying where yours is located. I've read the 80% of them are discovered on the head or neck.

What tipped you off that something was not right?
 Quoting: Paige


It is on my right upper arm. Like the front of my right shoulder.

What tipped me off was I had noticed what looked like 2 or 3 little tiny bubbles/blisters on that area of my arm. At first didn't think too much of it, but after a little while of them being there, I had mentioned it to a doctor I was seeing at the time. She said "oh that's nothing to be worried about, we can just freeze it right now. Nothing to worry about."

Pfft...Ugh, this frustrates me so much. That was so long ago. Years. This whole scenario could have been so much easier to handle. I mean, it's deep. It had already started to show physically 4-ish years ago (and I could be wrong, it may be longer ago). I believe it was the end of April/beginning of May that my current PCP removed the spot for the biopsy. Those same bubble/blister looking bumps are already coming back. It also kind of hurts/stings at times. I know the surgery is going to be more on the serious side because my PCP told me that the oncologist I'm seeing is really great and if need be plastic surgery can be done for the scarring...

I didn't like that. : (

But the good news is that my nanny sees the same oncologist for her recently discovered breast cancer and she loves him! Says he is great. She actually just had her surgery today and is doing fantastic!! I am so relieved and happy about this. I was heart broken when I found out she had breast cancer...for a few different reasons. But she's doing great and I am going to be seeing the same doctor she's been seeing. : )
