Having Basal-cell Ca Removed
I went in to the clinic today to have my basal-cell carcinoma removed.
It was what seemed a fairly trivial affair, where the staff assured me that this type of cancer was the most harmless kind. Having the cancer cut off with a curved cutting instrument called a curette, it felt like this procedure was so done-a-thousand-times, that it was to be regarded as no big deal.
And that’s what it was. No big deal. Stephanie gave it a shot of anesthetic, Corey came in a few minutes later and carved it out. Both were very professional and friendly.
It was at the Vancouver Clinic in Vancouver WA, and it’s a very professional organization. I do wish they would provide us patients with online tools to make appointments ect, and they assure me it’s coming. I’m not holding my breadth.
But Corey and Stephanie did a wonderful job and now my skin in cancer-free. I’m glad they treated me professionally and like a person. For which I’m grateful, aside from recognizing my skin cancer in the first place (which I think I inherited from my dad) and made no big deal about getting rid of it. It was no big deal. Of which I’m happy.
Yea, I’ve been to the Vancouver Clinic. The one on 87th Ave. They are good there and you feel confident they know what they are doing. I wish they had on line stuff like where I can pay my bill though.

Yea, it’s coming I’m sure. But it’s like the whole of the healthcare industry - slow to change.
