It hurt badly and it didn't make it easier that my son would poke me there saying, 'mom, mom!' <br />I went to a dr appointment for a cough I couldn't get rid of but my dr couldn't stop staring at my arm and I told her to stop staring at my bruised lump, she sent me over to have a biopsy which I will tell you was very painful but well worth it! Mine turned out to be cancer-Dermotofibroma Sarcoma Partuberans. It is a rare cancer because it usally appears in the neck & face and I got it in my arm. I have since had 3 surgeries and luckily they think that they have gotten all of it!!<br />I believe that things happen for a reason, and this might just be yours to tell you something about yourself in your life.<br />Please don't take this the wrong way, I just want you to know that everything will work out for you and be amazing!<br />All my best~<br />Kindly,<br />ChacoyChacoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871200157016180154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-23892137408369310222010-09-23T19:54:54.427-07:002010-09-23T19:54:54.427-07:00It all just sucks!

Maybe you could explain to the doctor that you can't just come back time & again b/c you aren't insured. I think doctors take it for granted that people are and then milk it for all it's worth. Yet another reason for an overhaul of the health delivery systems in this country.

Complete investigation takes time, a process that mostly depends on the skill of your Doctor, and yes money. Most clinics/hospitals have a charity fund -- start asking, and you may receive. Ask, and ask again. Don't be afraid to educate yourself about this. Yes it is a distraction to your passions, but embrace the moment, sometimes this kind of thing can bring unexpected gifts. This too is part of your journey. You are so beautiful Andrew, so very beautiful, and so love your little bump, and see what happens. I am sending you, your little bump, and the rivers and streams of your body lots of love energy. May the gods of bumps be happy to tickle and coach away the distraction.
