Skin Cancer

Just an adjunct thread to the Cancer Survivors to post information.

Skincancer.org has some important info, including a push from the U.S. Surgeon General (who is a dermatologist) on regulation and also a blog called, The Melanoma Letter. Copy & paste this as I cannot post a link from my Kindle.

Thank you.

Thanks. Personally I would rather have the mole removed ASAP. I'm fair and had multiple bad sunburns as a child before we knew had bad that was. ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$ I've had cancer already, and dad had two types of skin cancer including melanoma. The surgery he went through for the melanoma was harsh; but they did catch it in time.

Do the math.

You'd rather have the mole removed than what? What type of cancer have you had?
