Biopsy results ChatAdded:
Hello my friends. Welcome to the thrifty spoony.
As you saw in the title of excuse me of the video I am updating you. I got the results of the the biopsy to today.
Um, they came in yesterday and I could not upload them on the site that they give me uh for them. It's not the normal chart thing. It's something different and it would not come up the PDF. So, I called earlier today and they said a nurse would call me back and they called me back. I have basilc cell carcinoma.
I right now it is starting to heal. I do not have a band-aid or anything on it. I don't know if you can see it.
It did heal quite a bit. I'm still putting the uh Aquafor and washing it uh twice a day, but I have not covered it.
It needs to air out.
Uh, plus it was getting severely itchy with the band-aid. So, it's, you know, a lot of people get it.
It is from, it could be from when you're younger out in the sun decade, you know, you could get this decades after uh a skin cancer.
I did have an episode of skin cancer years ago, probably 30 years ago, like when I was in my 30s.
I might have been even younger. Uh I was having an examination and a doctor noticed a discolored mark on my back and that was skin cancer, too.
I was an outdoor sunbathing crazy girl when I was younger.
And I guess now I'm paying for it. I mean, I was always in the sun, uh, getting color and everything all summer long. Hours I'd be outside. I'd come in, you know, you know what I mean? You guys know, we've all been through that. But and I did use skin protector, but may maybe not all the time.
Excuse me. I don't quite remember, but don't mind me. I'm really tired today. I haven't been sleeping well. But so that is the results.
what they're going to do. I wrote it down.
The nurse when she when they called me gave me a number to schedule. They want me to have Moe's surgery. M O HS. That's what they do for that. For this one I have.
So, what they do, I had a bunch of questions and they gave me the number to where I schedule it.
I have it scheduled for it's a consult with the the I guess the surgeon that's going to do it on June 9th.
So, here we go again, guys. Another appointment this month.
a lot a lot a lot going on.
So, June 9th, I have a consult. He's going to go over everything, probably schedule a surgery. It It does take time. I The lady that I spoke to said the insurance does take sometimes takes a while to get the pre-auth or whatever. So that'll give me some time to get through all this other stuff.
It never ends, guys.
I'm going through the ringer again and again and again.
So the console is in the morning, June 9th. I think it's a Tuesday.
Tomorrow I am going back to my dermatologist that did this biopsy for a followup slash another biopsy which if you don't want to see don't look this right here under my I is going to be biopsied tomorrow.
I'm quite quite nervous about that since it's right under my eye.
She said it needs biopsy to she it's suspicious is what it says on uh the the site for the after the visit summary.
I checked and it says uh suspicious medically necessary for suspicion of and and then it has a V versus and this one says Squamus cell.
Squamas cell is the one the progressive one.
So that would be strange that I would have basil cell here and possibly squamas cell under my eye.
So I don't know. We got to get that biopsied and I'm going to have to wait like I waited for this one for the results.
I did call my dentist.
I have the biopsy tomorrow.
Oh, please keep me in your prayers, guys. Please.
So, biopsy tomorrow.
And then next Wednesday, I have the eye surgeon, like I said, for the cataracts. He's going to just measure my eyes and stuff.
I did call, that's what I was saying. I did call my dentist this morning and I guess they asked the my dentist's assistant and the dentist.
I let them know that I do have the basil cell carcinoma up by my nose and that I have a console on the 9th after this biopsy.
And they said, "Bring it up to the doctor you're seeing for the consult that you're supposed to have. You you have a scheduled extraction for the teeth. See what they say.
You know, if it's okay to do it, whatever, then we can do it. If not, they'd have to reschedu.
So, I got to wait until the 9th to see this consult doctor that's going to do this surgery to see if it's okay to get the teeth extracted on the 15th, depending when he schedules me for the uh surgery for this, the Bose surgery.
Now what they do, the lady I spoke to that scheduled the consult, she told me that I asked her what happens during the surgery.
She said what they do, excuse me, is they take it off by layer.
You'll go in, they numb you, and they will take a layer off.
You have to wait right there. Same day.
All this is done the same day. You have to wait. It could be up to an hour each time.
And they put it under a microscope and they check to see if I need to have another layer done.
So if it's still can't they still feel there's cancer there, they will come back and take another layer off and it could take up to an hour each time in between to get the results of each layer that they're removing.
So it depends how deep it is in there.
It depends how far down it, you know, how many times they have to take a layer off.
They said it could take one to five hours said and done because of the waiting time in between to see if they need to take more layers and they do it the same day.
So that that is going to be a process.
I asked I said what if they take a bunch of layers? Uh is it going to heal properly?
Uh is there any surgery? I mean am I going to have a big hole there and a bad scar or how does that work?
She said I'd have to talk to the consult doctor. the surgeon and ask him them questions.
They do have script skin graph stuff they can do. There's a lot of different things they can do if it needs it.
If it's not that bad, how many times they have to go in uh it normally heal heals normally, they said.
So, we will see. It depends how deep this is.
I have had this a while, so it may have went deep. I don't know.
It started out small, but then got a little bit bigger and then it, you know, it's crazy. It's almost like a dry patch of skin.
Sometimes it looks scabby like like a cut like I I scraped myself or something and a little bloody. Some days it's smooth and you can barely tell it's there. A little pink color.
It's really strange. You I never thought it would be cancer until my primary care said, "Yeah, you need to go to a dermatologist."
So, here I am.
So, now I got to wait see what this surgeon says.
I know pretty much how it works. The lady told me they take the layers off.
you have to wait another layer if they if you need it. Uh the least amount of time she said you'd be there is once they do the first layer, you have to wait that hour.
Like sometimes it's less than an hour to get results of that layer. If it's good, you could go home. Otherwise, they keep going with layers if they need to take more off and get to get it all out.
So it dep it depends on what what's going on with it.
And then tomorrow I got to wait again have this like I said biopsied. I'm terrified. I really am because I you know I told the lady that scheduled it today. I said I it hurt last time. She said she probably didn't numb you enough.
She goes, "Tell her, make sure you numb me correctly because definitely right under my eye there, that's going to be painful."
And I want it numbed enough where I can only feel like maybe tugging or something. I don't want to feel what I felt last time, especially in this spot.
And I'm concerned I'm gonna bleed a lot again.
And that spot there. Ow. To be cauterized.
I I'm cringing. I I'm really scared for tomorrow.
I really am, guys.
And I don't know why in the notes she has on the medical chart thing I look at this one she's doing she worded it differently than the one she did already.
This one said suspicious for malignancy and it said basil cell v squamas cell.
Now this little one I looked today it says suspicious for malignancy and it said squamus v squamis cell. It didn't say basil cell.
So that's what's making me nervous is it seems like to her it looks like squamus cell and I'm scared because that's it spreads quickly.
So I don't know I got to I've been checking little areas of my body to see and there is another mark up in here or it's this side. I don't remember which side. This side. the same side.
That's a little itchy and a bump there.
I'm going to show her that.
I hope it's nothing.
So guys, I got to see from doctor to doctor what I need to do, especially the teeth part.
She said, the dentist said if they're okay with it, they're okay. you know, if they feel it's okay for them to do the teeth, they'll do it. If the process is okay, they'll still do it. Otherwise, they'll rescheduled with me. So, that's what I'm going to do. I got to find that out.
So, tomorrow eye doctor the 9th the consult for the biopsy or for the surgery.
the 10th I have yeah the eye doctor.
Then Monday the 15th is the dentist.
Wow.
This is crazy guys.
And I got to be prepared. If they say the teeth extractions are okay to do, I got to be prepared and make sure I have like yogurt and soft stuff in the house and whatever the doctor recommends.
So, I'm going to have no teeth there for a while.
only in the front including the missing one.
So that is all I have for you guys.
Those of you who asked for prayers, you are all still in my prayers every single day.
Please keep me in your prayers that everything is okay, that I get through all this.
I did have a few comments. Someone said uh I think someone commented to it. I did delete it. If you are missing your comment, there was a person that commented and said, Anna, it's always something with you.
Every doctor's appointment, it's something else.
And I thought about it and thought about it and I looked at past comments of this person and they have been mostly kind of negative towards me.
So I removed them from the page.
Very well earned removal. I don't want that. I don't need this negativity right now. I am going through a lot and I like I said I told you multiple times this is dramaree.
I will not put up with any comments like that.
It's my channel.
If you don't want to watch or you want don't want to know about anything like this then don't watch.
There are people that want to know.
There are people that may be going through something like this like me or was just diagnosed with something like me and they want to see what I go through and my journey.
So that is why I got rid of that person.
I looked at, like I said, their earlier comments and when they've commented prior on their page and stuff and I was like, no. I thought about it, left it there for a while and I'm like, should I get rid of them or should I just delete the comment and let them if they want to comment again? But I let I've been watching this person and they've been just trying to pick with me. They're picking at me. So I was like, "No, you're not picking at me anymore."
So there goes them. Bye-bye.
So that's what I'm talking about. The negativity.
No, not here.
and I will catch it. And if I get a bunch like that, I mean a lot on a video and you guys uh, you know, notice that, you know, my comments are shut off. I thought about that last night. If I get a ton of negative comments on a video, I will shut the comments off for a while because I'm sorry, I do not need any aggravation or stress.
I do not need it.
I got too much going on in my life. I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to do real life my journeys with everything going on with me from teeth, dentures to biopsies to my disease.
It's not fun, guys.
And I mean I, you know, I want this channel to be respectful. If you can't be respectful, then you can leave.
That's all I have to say. And I am not being rude. I'm just letting you know, especially new people that might come across this video today and get on there and be negative, someone new, because that's what I get.
It's a lot of newer people that I don't recognize that'll come on there and just have to say something negative.
Well, Anna is not putting up with it.
Remember that.
Those of you are who are watching this right now and decide that, oh, I'm going to comment negative, you'll be gone. So, why even bother?
So, with that said, my sweet friends, no, I'm not being rude, just so you're aware. I'm not trying to be like a nasty person or anything. I love each and every one of you guys. And I am protecting my channel from that.
That is what I'm going to be doing just to keep it a clean channel.
No negativity, no drama. Dramafare is what this is.
All right, my friends. I'm going to end the video here.
If you're new and you like this video, please consider subscribing.
For more journeys on whatever's happening here, results, tomorrow's biopsy. I may let you know how that goes. We'll see how I feel when it's over. Um, I may come on all bandaged up like I did with that one to show you everything.
Okay, I love you all. Please keep me in your prayers and I will see you soon.
Until next time, God bless.
