I wake up and notice a slight bump on my hand – it has some red around it. I decide to ignore it for a few months because it seems silly to go to the doctor for a slight red bump. People ask me “What’s with the red bump?” I say “It’s nothing. It’ll go away.” But it doesn’t go away, in fact it gets a bit redder and a bit bigger.
So I make an appointment to see the doctor just to be safe. Well, the doctor takes one look and says “That is definitely pre-cancerous” and needs to treated ASAP. He suggest a topical cream and I assure the doctor I’ll think about and go off on my merry way. After all it is pre-cancerous. Not real cancer! Right?
