[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 219269"] To be honest, while it was nice to get away, I couldn't handle once a month with my grandmother. She told me, while I was there, that my dad has cancer. I learned a long time ago to take everything she says with a grain of salt. She said it was on his head. ON his head? Yeah, he had a lump and he asked her to look at it, said it was starting to itch and she told him that she thinks it's cancer. Then she said he can't get into the surgeon until Jan 14. I asked if it was a melanoma. "I hope so", in that voice that is supposed to elicit worry and concern. Knowing my grandmother, I knew to think twice. Knowing my dad, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to get the attention and I would have known about this from my mom who would have heard it from my brother - well, sister in law actually. So, I sent an email to my dad last night. He said it's no big deal. He sees a dermatologist (not a surgeon) on Jan 14 and that it's getting smaller and is now the size of a pencil eraser. Drama junkie. :rolleye: [/QUOTE]
