Hi all i thought i would warn people about it has
sue only has a small lump on the inside of her leg by her bottom.
she's had it checked and the doc said it looks like
a basal cell carcinoma.
has anyone heard of this it is not live threating unless left untreated.

    Hope all goes well on the 26th. Many things like this can turn out ok, but I shall be thinking of you.

    It's funny that you describe where this lump is. Because I have had a cyst in almost the same place you describe. When I went into hosp to have my hysti. operation, I asked the surgeon ( when he came to have a chat with me about the op) if he could take it away. So yes, after my op, there were stitches where the cysts had been, bue he didn't do a very good job because it has come back again.

    Dear Joan

    I am sorry to hear Sue has to go and have the lump removed on the 26th but it is for the best. I have heard of it and as you say it is not life threatening, is very slow growing and does not spread to other areas. It is an extra worry that you can both do without but I am sure all will be well.

    Love to you both,
    Elna x
    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Hi Joan

    I hope all goes well for Sue on the 26th. I had a scare with a mole which had to be removed, but luckily it was OK. It is always best to check things like this out.
