Glad for your good report, too.<br /><br />And this post is timely for me...I have lots of freckles, etc. as well and just noticed a new tiny black spot, almost just a speck, really, but it wasn't there before. Soooo, I will be getting it checked out. All because of your post.

I've had numerous moles removed and all good reports thus far but I am probably a little paranoid about this. Lived in FL all my life without disregard for sun protection when younger. Glad you are healing. I'll stay vigilant.Beverlydruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076952202754480892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338899928035325459.post-2412387875812903642009-05-08T23:34:00.000-04:002009-05-08T23:34:00.000-04:00Sue,

And how the internet can be our worst enemy as we self-diagnose and predict outcomes (always the worst!).<br /><br />I'm so thankful that you're cancer-free. Thank God we live in a time when cancer is treatable and that every year strides are being made to improve outcomes even more. <br /><br />Thanks for being brave and sharing this...you've got me thinking about having my many spots checked out. <br /><br />BTW, I'm sure you look way cool in your scarf. If you make it a do-rag, you can get a Harley to go with it (you've already got the scars!). ;-)<br /><br />I'm rejoicing for your health and praying for swift healing.<br /><br />Happy Mothers' Day.KelliGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261710060954867880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338899928035325459.post-32412670264283007632009-05-08T17:20:00.000-04:002009-05-08T17:20:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing.

My hubby has our doctor look at them once in a while, but I'm wondering if he should see a dermatologist. Our younger son has them too on his back, and I know our older son has one on his back.<br /><br />My mom has had a few spots removed from her face which were basal cell. And then I think of my teenage years as I used to lay out covered in baby oil!!!<br /><br />Glad you're okay!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064097529819037135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338899928035325459.post-61552921403707612622009-05-08T13:48:00.000-04:002009-05-08T13:48:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for sharing your story (and picture...Thanks so much for sharing your story (and pictures) and I rejoice with you that you're free of skin cancer!<br /><br />I'm a spotted creature too. I used to pay no attention, but as I've gotten older I watch them a lot closer. I have one particular mole that I've had all my life and I watch it very carefully. I guess what got me started watching my spots more closely is the fact that in my thirties I noticed that whenever I'd been in the sun a lot I didn't just tan, I spotted. I've also had a few incidents of sunburn (accidental) in the last few years and I've noticed more discoloration after those. <br /><br />Like you, I love being outside, though!Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945043297139219733noreply@blogger.com
