Skin Cancer?

[gonnabethin 10]

Iwas told yesterday I possibly had skin cancer by my surgeon. Obviously since he is a surgeon he told me that I need to go to my PC, but he was quite upset and concerned after looking at it.

So what was it?

I saw derm today and had 3 biopsies. Unfortunately it is an annual event and the risk of living in texas wirh fair hair and fair skin. Find out next week if we have to take bigger margins. As I had them removed I realized I hadnt heard about your status.

Hopefully your not still in limbo.

What a horrible worry for josette folliculitis vs skin cancer!! They dont even look the same.

Well that's great news. I think most Australian's would just say "blimey mate, I've got another skin cancer". It happens to almost everyone here once they get to middle age and beyond, very very common. Very very treatable and unless its missed for some reason, nearly always a good outcome.

A good portion of Aussies are fair skinned caucasions of European descent, silly weak white skin in a very harsh climate, its a recipe for trouble.

I went to the PC and she sent me to a dermatologist. They have biopsied it and I am waiting for results. They are pretty sure it is basal cell carcenomo. BUT they also said it is not life threatening and is treatable!
