Re: Hey waterfield!

Your right about being lucky I know any time your the subject of some form of cancer it is very worrisome. However, as likely explained to you basal cell carcinoma is really a mild form of skin cancer. They are always biopsied -as yours was-and roughly 95% of the time they are benign. My wife has had literally hundreds of basal cell cancers removed from her skin and none-so far-has been malignant. She has Irish skin which is very sensitive to the sun and taught swimming outdoors for several summer in high altitude. Additionally, she was part of the south bay surfing crowd in the late 50s.

So don't worry if you have repeated occurrences. Just make sure you have a good dermo guy.
