I recently had my latest skin cancer check. I’m on a six-month schedule since having found stage zero melanoma on my hand last year and had an excision to make sure it hadn’t spread any further than that little spot. Thankfully, it hadn’t.
My original doctor is unfortunately battling bone cancer so I saw a new dermatologist, Dr. Parry. Being female certainly helped with some of my anxiety. As mature as I tried to be about it in the past, there were definitely times it was awkward to have male doctor scanning literally every inch of skin on your body. But its so important you can’t let that discourage you from doing it!
I did have a little spot on my tummy that was somewhat worrisome to me and although she didn’t think it was a problem, she removed it to have it biopsied.
I’m happy to say the results came back earlier this week and the biopsy showed no signs of cancer!!
Do you have an annual skin cancer screening? Do you keep an eye on your moles to watch for irregularities or changes? Do you try to limit your sun exposure? Tell me how you’re keeping yourself protected from skin cancer!!
I’m straying from my E-MEALZ plan for this week. Keith and I had an awesome getaway this weekend and while I don’t regret it one bit, I do feel like I need to be super thrifty this week to make up for it a little. That means I’m hoping to shop my pantry and not need a trip to the store!!
Here’s what I’ve got in mind:
Cheesy Salsa Mini Meatloaves – Keith will most likely be working late so these will be easy enough to warm up when he gets home.
Easy Parmesan Chicken Fingers – Can’t get much easier than this!!
Tuna Casserole – Keith requested this and its been awhile!
Pizza – Brooke and I make our crust in the breadmaker and we keep the toppings simple!
Leftover Pasta – From our romantic dinner at Maggiano’s Saturday night. Loved that they give you a take home pasta!!
Brinner – Breakfast at dinner time!!
I’m keeping breakfasts & lunches simple too. Breakfasts will either be pancakes that I’d made in big batches and froze or overnight oats. When I’m not having leftovers for lunch, I’ll be doing either PB&J or turkey & cheese sandwiches.
