    Oh No (Cancer is back/Recurred ): Results of wide excision show cancer is still present. Doctor is suggesting amputation of the finger.

    Oh No (Diagnosed): Had what was thought to be a cyst removed from just under the surface of the skin on my finger. Turned out to be acrospiroma or porocarcinoma. I'm told these two things are synonymous. Rare tumor of the sweat gland.
