Skin cancer..

[inkjunkie]

Going to see the demo shortly. This will be the second go around of freezing the cancer off of my face in addition to having a chunk of skin surgically removed from my arm. Please use some common sense when outside folks. I am not a sun worshiper. Just never cared enough to put sun block on and never wore long sleeves/pants until I got tattooed.

Good luck and stay strong. You gotta beat this.

For the first 45 years of my life the only sun blocker was a hat and shirt.

I wish you well!

Happy smoken.

Good luck!!! I've got a nice scar on my right cheek near by eye from having a cancerous lump removed.

Good luck to you. I hope all goes well.

Best of luck to you!

Best of luck  to you sir. Will be sending good thoughts up North to you. I never go out without sunscreen anymore. I'm sure I used up all my sun god karma years ago.

When in to get one spot frozen....walked out with two.

Best of luck my friend, been there done that more times than I care to remember. After almost 67 years in the panhandle of Fl and having a small boat of some sort for the past 50 years fishing the bays and bayous I've had my share plus.Have had the arm cut once, the neck twice, the back 4  times, the face 13-14 times, enough liquid nitrogen sprayed on me to build the best butt muscles in the world trying to crawl away from the bottle. I've been lucky no melanoma.

Use sunscreen,wear wide brim hats and good sunglasses (UV induced cataract in both eyes by the time I was 55). Love the sun but you better respect it.

Best of luck to you. It's just something a lot of us don't think about--obviously we should

Good luck. Just got myself checked. Outside a lot. Grandad had 3or4 cut off his face. Just wore a ball cap farming his whole life.

Thanks for the concern folks. Never gave cancer, of any sort, a thought until my wife had breast cancer. Now at the mere mention of it I get a lump in my throat. I ride my chopper with an open face helmet, probably be in my best interest to start wearing a bandanna over my face....always seem to forget the sunblock

I did not think of sun protection when I was younger but as time flies like the proverbial toilet paper roll, you start thinking of taking care of your body a little better than before. Life sure goes by quickly.

Life sure goes by quickly.....That is an understatement. Seems like only yesterday I was in high school. 30 year reunion just rolled on by....

I was told by my doctor that we are blessed with skin cancer when we are at a young age and it's only in our later years it starts to poke it's ugly head out to annoy us.

Don't quote me but I think that I read somewhere recently that Australia was the number one country for skin cancer and melanoma, in the world, it's nothing to skite about that's for sure.

I am off to have a check up in the new year as I have some little buggers on my arms that are about to meet a freezing end.

Cheers from Down Under.

My dermatologist pretty much said the same thing. He jokingly has told my wife & I this is the result of being a "know it all" when we were younger.
