Start of 5 years Cancer treatment

In 2004 went to see my Doctor about a small patch of dry skin on left index finger.said it was Dermatitiis and gave me cream did not help,so in Deccember 2004 thought i would try again he did seem concerned and reffered me to Dr Kellett Dermatologist they contacted me and made appointment for 8th March 2005 it had been put down as routine(not urgent.So the 6th January 2005 i was concerned so i went to see Dr Sloan she was concerned and sent a FAX to Dr Kellett the appointment was broughtforward to 11th January.Dr Kellett took 2 Biopsys and did X Rays and when i saw him next on the 8th Feruary he told me it was Cancer and reffered to Mr Dalal at Royal Preston he told me it was a Tumour i would need a skin graft. He gave me a date for operation which was 8th March he said i might need a Skin Graft but when he got down to it he said it was to bad so most of my finger was amputated under Local Anaesthetic i was in Theatre 1 hour & 45 Mins a bit of a shock then went home to recover. Then 6 weeks later Mr Dalal wanted to see me said the Cancer was still there so had to have more Surgery went into Hospital 3 Days later and had another operation to remove the rest of my finger had various visits to Fullwood Suite got through the year now see what happens.See what a New Year brings
