I'm so sorry to read that you have a new cancer on your leg.

When I get a call that is labeled "Potential Spam", I note the number because my phone started labeling our hospital and Dr offices as spam but it's a legit number.   Other numbers I'll either choose the option that it was spam and block it or answer it, have some fun with them, and then hang up and block the number.  We rarely get spam calls tho.  Our spam blocker comes from Verizon, not an app I've downloaded.

thanks. Its a superficial basal cell type. I was given the choice of three weeks using a cream on it twice daily, or having it cauterized-one appt. I picked option B. 

I use t mobile which has a built in blocker on my Samsung Galaxy. But it doesn't seem too effective.

I use a Samsung Galaxy too.  Maybe you could call T-Mobile to see if there are any updates or anything they can do to help with the amt of spam calls.

My iPhone posts a notice on the screen when I get a spam call. It's easy to block a number from the incoming call list too.

@smoochy : Some of my calls from my medical group are displayed on caller ID as user # 12245, just example.Totally unrelated to their office number. 
This is totally frustrating when needing special return calls.

It can take a bit of effort, but on my iPhone I put known numbers in contacts and send everyone else to voicemail.  If they don't bother to leave a message then they are dead to me.

I also have the ability to turn it off as needed.  Like if a repair person is coming and I know a cellphone will be involved.

Medical offices and pharmacies will always leave a cryptic message and often include their main phone number.
