Many people associate the seriousness of cancer with the words "chemotherapy" and "radiation." When those words aren't used, some tend to believe that the removal of a mole or two means a patient is cured. I have heard the phrase "just skin cancer" more times than I care to think about. I have found that friends and family look at skin cancer in a whole new light when they realize that we, too, use chemotherapy. Ours may be applied in a cream, but it is chemotherapy by the same right. Many co-workers have been amazed to find that Efudex is a chemo cream, and they have been stunned at its side effects. I have been known to tell people that cancer is cancer--the form doesn't matter.
