To answer a question to a Michigander friend, The whole thing from start to finish was less than 2-2.5 months me thinks. I watched it grow for a few weeks hoping it would be smart and go away on it's own. LOL... My Sherry says 'Dream -on!' LOL
For now I made a trip to a NEW Doctor. It was for a consult on a body scan for Merkel cell carcinoma. My uneducated understanding is they are looking to find if this 'tumor' was the mama or just a child. The way I understand it if it was the mama, then all is well and it is gone. if it is found other places (he is concerned about the lungs), then there is need for concern.
He seems to be planning to schedule radiation on my face no matter what they find. I hope I am misunderstanding. LOL
Anyway we are now waiting by the phone for the scheduled scan. Evidently he doesn't know if I am a cat or a dog , because he is calling it a PET SCAN. I will let you know....
I am wondering if I am falling into the Doctor Trap that many of us OLD people get into. I told my sweetheart today that if this keeps up they will destroy my possibility of hiking 'the trail' before I die or live in front of a TV. Meaning, I need at least 10 months clear to walk the entire 2190+ miles.
YEAH I KNOW, I KNOW, the last time I only needed a few days to tell me I could not start in January. LOL And made it only 25 miles. HAHA But I still need to try again to tell my Stubborn brain I need to SHUT UP.
Bye y'all

I admire your resilience, optimism, and determination to keep planning future adventures like the long hiking trail.
I am glad to see you here and hear about what is going on. Please keep us informed. I do kind of know what you arae feeling.
I'll be praying for good results of your scan, The pet scan does the whole body so they can tell if it has traveled anywhere else. We want to see you back on that trail once again!
I love that you've not lost your sense of humor! Still lifting bold prayers for soft answers.

A good friend of mine had Merkel cell. That was about 10yrs ago and shes doing great. She had radiation and did well. Prayers for complete healing and new hiking shoes for you!
