Good analogy, Susan. I know how you feel about something weird on your body. Although mine is not as bad as cancer, just having something invading you and not understanding it, it's very trying. You can't feel yourself. I really relate to your feeling here.

Perfectly described. I've had a couple removed over the years, although neither were thought to be life-threatening. The message is clear: if in doubt, go and see your doctor. Well written. xoxo Robert. Soupmail!
