Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Carving of the Face for a Sore

First experience for me yesterday.  I had a sore removed from my face to be studied for cancer.  I had a sore that would not heal of probably at least a years duration.  Lidocaine works very well.  They said there would be a small sting as they injected it.  It was much more than a small sting.  IUt really hurt.  But after it started working I didn't feel a thing.  Especially when they were cutting it off, I did n't feel a thing.

Labwork says  Squamous Cell Carcinoma.  I got the lab from the One Health lab and haven't talk to the MD yet.  They did cut it off but said I may have to come back for more cutting if it was cancerous.  Symptoms include an open sore which doesn't heal which describes the thing I had on my face.  It was also sensitive to touch.

I also had a large tag from the back of my leg.  It was also tested but no cancer in it.

    You are not alone.my brother had 350 staples and stitches in his face. If you're not looking hard you'll nearly see anything. Now he's dealing with prostate cancer.
