I Told You So
So I noticed a few months ago that a mole on the hubby's chest was looking different. It used to be a small skin-colored mole/wart thing, but it seemed bigger and redder. Uh-oh, I thought, what if it's skin cancer? When I mentioned that I thought it looked different, he brushed me off, saying that it's always looked like that. I wasn't convinced, and bugged him to go see the doctor about it. Actually, I've been bugging him to go see a doctor and get a physical ever since he turned 40! Mind you, that was like 4 years ago. Anyhoo, he finally got a physical a couple of weeks ago (clean bill of health), and went to see a skin guy on Monday. Wouldn't you know it, it's carcinoma, the non-deadly type of skin cancer, thank goodness. The doctor said that had it been the bad kind, he'd be dead already. The hubby's response to this was, "See, I told you it wasn't serious," rather than, "Holy fuck, it was cancer! Thanks honey for saving my life!" Gotta love men sometimes. Well maybe now he'll take me more seriously if I say I notice something. Jeez.

ooh, glad it is benign :)! whew. he sounds like the nonchalant type, i'd be OMFG, I COULD HAVE DIED if i were in his shoes.
which reminds me, i have this mole on my back that been there for ages and has been starting to look a bit weird as of late. ppl keep telling me to have to checked out, so maybe i'll schedule an appt for a dermatologist sometime... uh... this month.
