More Skin Cancer

[nmedge]

Just got back from dermatologist and she took another biopsy. She said yep it's cancer but will wait for lab to confirm. I'll give you a call in a couple of weeks to get it fully removed. Had the same issue on the same arm last year. I tell you, its a joy to get older, if its not falling off they are cutting it off!

My Uncle had a large cancerous place on his face (near his ear) removed. Now he's doing better as it was affecting him mentally. He talks more normal now and thinks clearer. Be safe! Hope everything will be good for you!

I'm sure it will all work out. Thats what I get for being in the sun all of my life! Hard to avoid in this neck of the woods or on Air Force flight lines!

in the "olden days", not much was known about the sun, and skin cancers.

so we all played, worked, and well, laid on the beach to get a tan, many times, with no suntan lotions.

you will do fine, it's just the crap you have to go thru, like before.

wishing you the best

Sorry to hear it. Get it removed and move on. It is good that you are pro active and get screened. Get it early and get it all out.
I grew up in the 70’s-80’s without using sunscreen. My folks were of the mindset of as long as you get a “base tan” you’ll be fine . I was 3 shades darker by September each year as a kid. As such, i began my screenings a last year.

If they catch it early enough, it's just a minor inconvenience. I have yet to leave my derm office without several questionable spots either being frozen or physically removed.

Sorry to hear the news but early detection and a good Doc are keys to success. Spirits up

Prayers to you!
Thanks to big pharm I am starting to get skin cancer from my cancer maintenance drug.
It's one of their side effects that I could get a secondary cancer, make no sense that a cancer drug can give someone more cancer.
I already have two kinds of cancer, sure don't want another.

That’s a bummer New Mexico. Hang in there buddy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Stay strong and you’ll beat this thing again.
