Hello there,

I'm a guy and not overly concerned with my third skin cancer.

I just lost a loved one to lung cancer and I'm counting my blessings.

That doesn't mean that I haven't had some anxiety and concerns. It's not pleasant have various parts of your body cut on and like I said I'm a guy. I'm not so concerned about my appearance. But it would break my heart to think that I might somehow appear "scary" to small children. I also feel for those ladies that are traumatized by what they perceive as radical changes to their appearance. I'm lucky enough to have friends and family members who are supportive. I pray that is the case for each and every one of you dear folks that have gone through having to deal with skin cancer. Finally I don't want to give the impression that I've suffered some radical change to my appearance. To date I've had a BCC on my back and a SCC on my eyelid removed. Both left minimal scars. I'm currently waiting for word from a plastic surgeon about what will be needed for my third bout with skin cancer. I have BCC on my nose. It wasn't real big but it wasn't tiny either. Anyway I can't afford to sweat it and more likely than not it will be just like the other two. Hopefully this is the last one.
