No Results Yet
So again, we went to the pediatric dermatologist and fully expected the dermatologist to say it was nothing. While she did allay my fears by saying skin cancer is extremely rare in kids this age, she also said but she never discounts anything. After taking a short look, it WAS something enough to be removed that very appointment. They had my son prepped, numbed, sliced and diced, and stitched in less than 30 minutes flat. We will know the biopsy results next week.
So I am not sure how I feel. I am glad it's gone. I'm glad I went against my feelings of being the over reactive Mom and had it checked out. I'm shocked it really was something that needed to be removed. Just like I was shocked when I talked my husband into getting the moles checked out on his back and head and it turned out that they needed to be removed. Sometimes, I feel like a such a hypochondriac for myself and my kids that I hesitate. I usually do follow through when it comes to my kids and husband, but rarely do for myself. Why do I self-doubt?
So now we wait. Luckily, we have spring break to keep us busy and no swimming. My son is starting to think it's cool to have stitches. He is definitely trying to use it to his advantage by needing more ice cream and not needing to clean up his pit of a room. He also told the doctor he wanted his best friend's Dad to remove his stitches. He's a local ER trauma surgeon. I'm sure he will be thrilled to remove yet another neighborhood kid's stitches. :)
So now we wait...
