Susan asks…Hw dov you get checked for cancer?I have a slightly fear that I might have Skin cancer.
Melnoma I believe is the name. I haven’t gone to a doctor to be sure of that, because I am too scared to know the truth if so.
and on the other hand, I rather not know at all, however the past couple weeks i’ve really been stressing about it, and I talked to a dear friend of mine, how his dad had this and is rushing me at least go check myself. He really cares for me, and was really freaking out about this. he had me promise him i’ll go this week. but it’s really stressful. even before I go..
anyways, how does it work. I go to a skin doctor and I show him my concerned area? like my spots that look weird to me? can he know right away? if it looks weird to him, how does he deepper check it? I mean, how does all this work.
on the other hand maybe it’s nothing and then I would probably look stupid to him like I was freaking over nothing.
I dunno…im really confused about this.Wize Guy answers:You go to the doctor and they look at the areas of concern. If it is nothing they will tell you it’s nothing and will probably give you some pointers on what to look out for. They wont think you are stupid it’s their job and they are used to it. I work with doctors and I have had them feel my thyroid and look at my spots and tonsils in meetings, the mailroom and in the elevator, so don’t worry about it. Besides you should see what babies they turn into when they become a patient, but that is a whole other story.
If the doctor thinks it may be cancer he or she will do a biopsy. The specimen will be sent to a pathologist who will make the final determination. You should have the results within a couple of days.
If it is cancer your doctor will probably order one or two radiological tests to be sure there are no other areas to be concerned about. Not all skin cancers are melanomas, but all skin cancers have better outcomes the earlier they are caught and it is better for cosmetic reasons as well.William asks…My hair is curly a little beneath my shoulders and puffy and i wanna know how to make
