It's even ok that I have to go to the doctor this morning. I just have to go for this freckle on my palm. I know it's not "right" to have a freckle on the inside of your palm, the surgeon saw it on my last surgery and noted it. She had me tell the oncologist immediately (last week) and the nurse called me back to tell me I was not at risk for "afjdaialajtoergajog" (I don't know what the word was, it was a really long medical word that I didn't write down or (gasp) look up). I was glad to know that I am not at risk for something! I knew about the freckle a Dr. spotted it five years ago and I've had it looked at several times. All they ever do is "monitor" it. I did NOT tell the surgeon that I have a new freckle forming on the left palm, I figured I'd tell the Dr today.
Here was my thinking I'm getting a killer chemo, right, so I figure any other possible cancer hanging out in my body would be taken care of, you know like in the mob all the rats are "taken out". But apparently my lack of attending medical school is showing up at this point and IF my freckles are indeed some sort of skin cancer, then the protocol must change.
I'm probably in complete denial, but I think it's just a freckle. Even though you "can't" get freckles on the inside of you palms, I still think it's just a freckle. In the mid 80's tanning beds were a fad (of course, before all the knowledge of how horrible the tanning beds are for you) and I participated in that fad and I left my palms down on the tanning bed thus exposing them to ultraviolet vicious rays that have (in my opinion) caused a freckle.
We'll see if I'm even close! Today will be a better day, I can just feel it!!

Good news, it's just a few freckles!!!!!!!!!!
Donita, I have 3 freckles on the inside of my palm, even Danny and Belle have a couple. I never realized it was uncommon, that is weird! Let me know how it goes, keeping you in my prayers.
