Re: Skin Cancers
We should go for a skin check up once a year. I go once or twice a year, because I have moles and basel cell, squamish cell carcinoma and melanoma run in my family.
I had a basel cell carcinoma removed a couple months ago. A mole changed and developed into basel cell carcinoma. The pathology report noted that it was from sun damage. Basel cell carcinoma is the least aggressive type, so I didn't need any chemo for it. The surgery was a piece of cake in the dermatologist's office with local anethesia. It healed quickly and I had no after effects.
