Hey, all the best to you. I seldom wear sunscreen as I am trying to even out my color as much as possible, but I may be changing my opinion on that soon.

Hey folks, just an update on the squamous cell cancer that was cut off of me. My dermatologist had thought we could do a pretty "simple" frozen section procedure, but after getting the lab reports back, he said "I'd be happier" if you went the Mohrs Procedure route. Set me up with another specialist to do a microsurgery where the cancer cells are taken out, under the use of a microscope, layer by layer...leaving the un-affected cells alone. Seems some lesions are like ice bergs---You only see a very small amount above, or at, skin level. Under the skin, it can be deep and wide.
Still 100% curable and I am happy we are going this route. Sun damage did most of this to me, but squamous cell cancer also comes from radiation---I have been in the radiology field for 30 years. One of the specialists came out and said---Use Neutrogena Age Shield Face...SPF70 with helioplex. Just a little info I wanted to pass along to the brotherhood!! Guess I'll find out about Mohrs in a week or two!! Just unreal how fast this lesion came up. Shocking!

I've had three mohs procedures. No big deal, except that there's a long time after they cut the site out and come back to close the wound--it's the time to do the detailed lab/microscopic work. Other than the wait--it's a walk in the park. Good luck.
