Tomorrow I have a doc appt and very well may have several biopsey's taken, they may rescedule to do them but I was told to expect them to be done tommorrow.. I am nervous of course since skin cancer runs in my family and I had cervical cancer 6 years ago.. so the liklihood is there.. 2 are on my face under my right eye, one on my chest, and the really bad one is on the bottom of my foot.. It is flat so it wiil have to be cut out and stitched up.. I am of course scared of the pain.. I know I will be numb but it makes me nervous.. so that with the cancer combo.. I am scared..

I hope everyone is having a good night and please keep me in your thoughts tommorrow morning..thanks

XOXO

I will be thinking of you tomorrow, I understand your fear - but as may others said - keep the faith - it may all be nothing.
Take care and keep us posted.

Keep the faith girl.  Skin cancer has always scared me, I am blond, blue eyed and very fair skinned and love the sun.  I always try  to wear sunscreen now, but in my younger days, I didn't.  I have freckles everywhere and sometimes they just freak me out.  I must say, you opened my eyes and I will start checking out the bottom of feet from now on!!  You will do fine and you will be fine.  Please let us know as soon as you do.  We are all praying for you.

p.s.  I just choked down another handful of vits and aminos.  I found chewable Ester C and they aren't too bad.  Kinda like orange Starbursts.  Now if the others only came in that form........

Thanks so much... I appreciate all of you for thinking of me... I went down this road b4 with the cervical cancer... so I know what to expect its just scarier I think when its on the outside of my body and involves cutting.. last time it was laser surgery I was knocked out so was easier to deal with I think..

Sheri-- after awhile once you start to feel the benefit of the aminos you can switch to a Free Form amino complex. or a powder form that you cam mix in smoothies or protein shakes..the books says most people can cut back on what they take after a few months..... thanks for the heads up on the chewable Ester C once I am done with this bottle I will buy that instead.. that is the only one I really have a problem getting down the hatch..

ilikevics · Answer

I got the chewy Ester C on the discount table at GNC.  It was only 2.50 for a jar of 60/250 mg chews.

FLaddict · Answer

I wonder if they have others... I take 1000mgs a day in the morning.. I would have to chew quite a few of those 250's... I will look.. I plan on going this week to stop in and see the guy there that helped me so much b4 he goes to China for 6 months.. He is the educator for the local GNC's here and he is a doctor of chinese medicine.. He knew alot about amino's and even people getting off pills like me... I was also getting off my SSRI and xanax so I needed lots of info..
thanks for the tip lady...

ilikevics · Answer

How many mgs of the Ester C should I be taking?  I have been taking 500 mgs.  Your list for me really didn't say, so I just went by what the bottle said.  Any ideas would be appreciated.... you are so wonderful and I for one appreciate you so much!!

FLaddict · Answer

Um... 500 sounds good... I take the 1000 because truthfully it helps me go to the bathroom like a normal person... I have always had issues in that department.. even peeing...  There are days were I go 12 hours or so without even peeing... and then only going "#2" every 3-4 days... I know that is awful.. and I hope its not TMI....
