The pebble in your shoe
Once I finally asked about it, it was cancer, and removed fully from my body within 4 weeks.
On September 28, I had Mohs surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma from my nose.
The cancerous tissue was smaller than the eraser on a #2 pencil, and based on a review of my camera reel, seems to have come up around 2015 or 2016.
I tolerated the bump for nearly a decade while it slowly grew, covering it with makeup.
All the while, I was in full denial and avoidance of what it could be, of even getting an opinion on what it could be.
And once I finally cultivated the courage to find out, it was out of my body four weeks later.
The little things in life we tolerate can wear us down even more than the big challenges.
