Stay strong. I know someone who had something similar. They had it removed and they are ok. Itll be ok.

Thanks.

Her family tree is full of lots of colon cancer and gynecologic cancer; her last scope (6 years ago) was negative, and she had a hysterectomy after our daughter was born 20 years ago (long story.)

It's just scary to think of everything it might be. I'm an engineer and used to always looking for the worst possible outcome in every situation, so my mind hasn't been able to slow down.

And - to make it even more exciting, I had a couple of heart palpitations last month and am now wearing a heart monitor for the next month to see why my ekg was 'abnormal.'

Getting old sucks real bad. (I'm 58, she's 49.)

Thank you for your words of support.

Getting old sucks hard. The good thing is they removed it.

I'm also terrified for what the military hospital system may do to her. You realize even if you ask what medications they give her, they will lie or "accidentally" give her something they didn't tell you. In the best scenario, they'll give her what they say, and yet it's still poisonous. I feel horrible for you and your wife.

Godspeed.

I should clarify - "specialist" as in "Gastroenterologist" not as in the military rank.

We're going to UC for everything (Cincinnati) just because they're pretty awesome there, so much better than the local health system.

I hope you're right. I used "military" because the hospitals are now weaponized.

Remain calm. Most skin cancer is treatable and non-lethal. I don't know your wife so I can't say "everything will definitely be okay SRB," however she will probably be okay. Make sure you're both wearing your sunscreen this summer and going forward.

I wish you and your wife the absolute best of luck with it. Say prayers with her and hold her close. Live everyday like the sun isn't going to rise tommorow. Bro hugs

Have it removed to be safe, but get a second opinion.

Many of these doctors prey on fear so you'll agree to unnecessary testing and buy tubes of cream for 400 dollars that are produced in India for 1.45. This is how they stay competitive and get more revenue.

Most "precancerous warts" are caused by HPV and aren't dangerous at all, and if it is a problem, you still want a second opinion to make sure the diagnosis is consistent.

Here are a few actions you might want to consider:

1) Drink a quart of fresh juice a day. Get a slow rotating juicer (like an Omega). Everyone's favorite juice is carrot/apple/ginger. Maybe 3 large apples, 6 to 8 carrots and an inch of ginger root. There are many other tasty juices possible. Just make a commitment to drink one quart of fresh juice each day, preferably in the morning at least an hour before your meal.

2) Heavily processed sugar feeds all cancers. Wean yourself and your wife off of processed sugars. No white sugar, brown-colored white sugar, or HFCS. I wouldn't do Stevia (causes infertility and other problems) or agave nectar. Real organic maple syrup seems tasty and doesn't seem to cause problems in moderation. I'm certain there are other sweet alternatives out there.

3) Eliminate wheat from your diet. The wheat we buy now is not the same as the wheat our ancestors ate.

I wouldn't worry to much about "pre-cancerous" diagnosis. To me it simply sounds like there could be a problem in the future. Many cancers are due to lifestyle.

I'd think long and hard if some doctor advised me to take some medicines long term for a pre-cancerous condition.

I wish you both the best of luck.

I had something similar come up with a freckle on my shoulder. I had just turned 18, my mum was out of state, and the doctor told me we couldn't wait a week to get rid of it (it had angiogenesis - it was surrounded by this huge spider like mass of blood vessels that had come up within 1-2 days of me noticing the change in the freckle). He took it out then and there, a couple of stitches and a biopsy later - same thing as your wife. I am perfectly fine, haven't had any issues since. Getting rid of it fast is always the best option. Wishing you and your wife the best.

If they tell you it is, get a separate second opinion to be absolutely sure. A doctor tried to tell my mother that she was deep into cancer, she needed to start treatment now, bah blah blah, she didn't and doesn't have cancer. It was either a horrible mistake or a money-making scheme. If she didn't get a second opinion, her quality of life would've been severely affected by the chemo.

She gonna be alright. My grandpa had one of them cheewahwah dogs that lost all its hair by age ten then quickly became just absolutely covered in warts and moles yet went on to live to 28 years of age.

An’ what the hell does “pre-cancerous” mean exactly? Ain’t we born, as the jew’s better living through chemistry see us, “pre-cancerous”?

All jokes aside, she’ll be alright. Most warts are benign, at worst large cell cancer and once removed no longer an issue. Small cell on the other hand….though not likely, MIGHT be an issue.

"Chewahwah" I'm goan name my nex chil' dat. We call her "mookie" for short.
