Hi @daelitesmom ,

I just had blood work with the insurance I am leaving on January 1. As usual I have my high platelets but not the highest they have been. I feel fine and just hope the biopsy wound from second one done by surgeon that came back clear margins heals decently on my face. I thought he was going to do Moh’s as my first biopsy came back melanoma insitu but he said it was very superficial. He did not do Moh’s which is fine if it heals decently on the side of my face.
My right ring finger proximal phanalgeal joint remains huge but does not hurt at all and is not red and not warm or itchy. It has a huge mass of “gushy” material under the joint towards my hand on the front which I hope my new insurance will do a needle biopsy on to see what it is. If it would be drained out it would be so much better but insurance I am leaving just could not do that for me. I even brought them a recommendation to do that from my former insurance after MRI. They did their own MRI and disagreed. So I will try another insurance soon.
Hope you get an answer from your oncology nurse soon.
Happy Almost New Year 2026!
