Even though I have had quite a few skin cancers, and al of the three usual types, (basal, squamous and melanoma) I tend to be grateful that they are treatable and thankful that none of my skin cancers have gone beyond Mohs surgery and chemo so far. Also my Dermatologist does a skin check every three months and removes any new mole (they are always skin cancer at my age). Just look at the bright side. We are still above ground.
