If I had any idea at the time that it was cancer I certainly would have done more and sooner. From the look of it I thought that I had stabbed myself with a potato chip or something. When it did start to look like something I should be concerned about I had the biopsy in 2 two days. Another reason for all of us to be informing people about OC. Prevent the results of ignorance of the disease.
