Nearly 11 hours sleep last night.
Went to bed very early, tired.
Likely due to the second biopsy done the day before.
The first biopsy 2 weeks ago did come back as only pre-cancer solar keratosis.
But it still was not healing, even after suggestion by dermatilogits that the action of removing some of the lesion would stimulate the immune system to get rid of the rest.
This second biopsy 2 days ago, done by a different facility and doctor on 11/13/14 was deep, and 1/4" wide.
it took 3 stitches, scheduled to be removed in a week.
Even though the entire area was not removed as I have requested from the beginning, which I first noticed a bit before Sept 15, 2014, I have more confidence in this new dermatologist.
The prior one showing indifference and failed to do as promised several times.
The overall facility doing under par care and treatment.
There is NO one monitoring Doctors, so we need to do that ourselves.
Since they are well protected, and insured, and so very busy, they are easily prone to this type behavior.
In my type of business, we are monitored and regulated. We cannot do any work without written approval, with details on procedures and estimated costs to the customer before they approve.
Then when completed, By law, they are not obligated to pay anything over the estimated costs, unless they are informed and they had give verbal approval.
I prefer this way.
It seems these excellent laws tend to be for small businesses, and franchised retailers, and don't seem to apply to large corporations.?

and, today is my Birthday. :)
taking it easy.
But I looked up online treatment for actcinic keratosis with acanothysis, and found a post by a doctor that uses Vetamin A, 50,000 units 3 times a day for 2 weeks, for 8 patients.
All experienced improvement, some less than a week.
so, 11/15/14, 10:14am I took 6, 25,000 units Vitamin A, NOW brand. (I’VE BEEN taking only 25,000 units a day, every day) and plan of taking this for 2 weeks.
Perhaps my determination to have the whole thing removed is not needed after all? :)

Happy Birthday and good luck with your vitamin therapy.

Happy birthday! Hope your vitamins work. Is it safe to take that in one big dose? Just make sure your doctor knows you're taking them. Some meds can react with over the counter items.

Doctors? They know very little about nutrition. A lifetime of after effects of various doctors treatment has taught me to be very leary of anything they say.
But thanks for you comment and concern.
BTW:
my amazon.com post re vitamin A
I'm 71 years old today.
when I was 18 years old I had a skin condition doctors could not cure or identify the cause: it was boils on my back so bad it looked like I'd been shot with birdshot, and each tiny shot infected.
Well, it wasn't birdshot, it was an imbalance in my diet that I didn't discover for 3 years.
I found a temporary cure for it during those 3 years of research.
The cure was 20 to 30 pills of 50,000 units EACH of vitamin A derived from Fish Liver Oil.
At that time there was no warning about overdose or danger. and 50,000 unit vitamin A was available everywhere vitamins were sold.
I had zero negative side effects of taking these MASSIVE doses of Vitamin day, every day for 3 years! I swear on my life that I did take this amount: that is up to one million, 500 thousand UNITs of vitamin A every day for 3 years.
The positive effect was it eliminated the boils.
Only later for some reason, (I remember reading about it, that ONE patient had turned orange from large doses of beta carotene) I think the 'medical industry' trumped up these false conclusions that it is unhealthy to take vitamin A in larger than 25,000 units per day. Later changed to 10,000 units per day. My own experience says it is NOT dangerous or unhealthy to take VITAMIN A from fish liver oil.!!
But perhaps they are correct that taking large doses of Beta Carotene IS unhealthy, since it's supposed to be converted to vitamin A by the body, and who knows what that involves, if it's NOT converted?

I don't have blind trust in doctors. Not whatsoever! They've learnt things one way and are for the most part indoctrinated with what they've learnt in medical school and don't budge from it. They don't have an open mind. Happy Birthday Dear Sir! Wishing you another 71 years... lol
