Place: KC, MO Comments: Well, here's the dermatological update that I promised in a Facebook post--although I don't know a whole lot yet. On Tuesday they shaved off (sounds worse than it was) a place on my nose and a place on my forehead. The P.A. said that she was all but positive that the spot on my nose is a basal cell carcinoma, which really is a fairly minor concern for me. While I know that BCCs can be bad, I had one removed above my left eye in 2001, resulting in a slight eyelid lift ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") .The forehead issue is a little more worrisome. The P.A. said that while it doesn't look to her like a typical melanoma--she gave a three-word name for what it could be--and I have no idea what a typical melanoma looks like--the possibility that it is a melanoma is "in the back of her mind" (however that should be interpreted). Both samples were sent to a lab; getting the results back may take up to three weeks. Of course the lab results will determine what happens next. I'm hoping for only good news. The angel on my right shoulder keeps telling me 1) that the P.A. wouldn't have suggested a positive outcome if she really didn't think that such an outcome is a good possibility and 2) that the P.A. would be asking for the lab results to be delivered to her sooner than in three weeks if she thought that the absolute worst outcome were inevitable. At the same time, though, I'm afraid that I'm expecting bad news, partly because of my history of breast cancer but partly because of the timing. The devil on my left shoulder keeps making me think--as I have already told a dear SOC friend--"Getting ready to retire, to be able to do whatever/whenever--so why wouldn't I be destined for another round of surgery, chemo, radiation, etc., with no guarantee of 'beating it' this time?" In other words, a real pity party has been going on in my head (and sometimes leaking out of my eyes). So - That's what I know/don't know. No choice but to wait for more news. I'll pass along whatever I find out, especially if whatever comes next means that I won't be able to make the birthday party in September. (I'm really going to be ticked off if that is the case!) Love to all - Carol
Place: Richardson Comments: We just got in few minutes ago. Left at 8:30am and 1) Stopped at Hot Pancakes for Breakfast, 2) Went to the Federal Printing & Engraving Bldg for tour of how they make our money. It was great, we all liked it. They call it Ft Wth, but it is far north of dwntwn Ft Wth. Kinda in the boonies and surrounded by a double fence with barbed wire! All guards are armed! 3)Then on to Ft Wth Stockyards. Had lunch, looked around & bought souvenirs for boys and finally back home. Guess what they wanted?? Lassos! They're out front trying to lasso the mailbox. The week is up and sadly they go home tomorrow. Ada Ann - Try to look very sad, at least until the plane door shuts! So excited to see you!!!!
Place: Sachse Comments: OF Course I was talking about the catering manager, Seems like everytime you find a good one, by the time comes to do the work they are gone and the newbee knows nothing! Now I don't know about Sammy. You know how he is... probably Marvin's fault.
Place: NH Comments: I just sent Sandy an email.....wonder of wonders! My travel partner has cancelled out on me.....YES!!!! So, I will be free to roam around Dallas alone.....woohoo! I had to act sad that he wouldn't be with me!
Place: Dallas Comments: Jack, You still have that stock pile of a Beanie Weenies and Vienna Sausage.? We may need a plan B. Just sayin'
Place: Richardson Comments: Man, you guys are mean! At first I thought you were taking odds whether I'd last til the B-day Party. ![[eek]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif "Eek - :eek:") But then I think you were referencing the Catering Mgr.?? Unfortunately for you guys, I plan to be around for a long time! ![[tongue]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/tongue.gif "Tongue - :p") P.S. Sammy - let me know what those odds are for the catering mgr.
Place: Dallas Comments: Vegas odds are 10-1. Sarah and I are going to Choctaw in 2 weeks. Will check their odds send let you know.
Place: Sachse Comments: Any bets if she will make it to when we have the party??
Place: Richardson Comments: Yes Carol, I got it & have replied. All - I'm waiting for Don to get back from Dripping Springs wit the two boys. They'll be here a week, so won't have much time for GB until later at night. We have lots of activities planned for them, mostly indoors! Darn this heat wave. Richard - Good decision!! Things are going well with the mew Catering Mgr. She is knowledgeable and actually does what she says she will do. Nice change.

Place: KC, MO Comments: Sandy - New E-mail sent. Didn't get a rejection notice, so hopefully it went through.
