Thanks for the comments about my cancer (and about my blog). I have now had my second operation to &amp;#39;make sure&amp;#39; they got all the skin cancer and have been back to have the dressings changed.

I had a look at the skin graft and found the whole thing quite &amp;#39;educational&amp;#39;, never having had a proper operation before it was a little bit of a shock to see what it all looked like. But the surgeon was pleased with himself and the way it was healing so that was good enough for me!

Read all about it, and see some pictures at,

Have a good week and get some rest!

Cheers

Hope you are ok.

I was diagnosed with skin cancer just a couple of months ago, obviously this has changed my life just a tad.

I have been blogging the ongoing process on my own website since that day fateful day with pictures and thoughts etc.

If anyone has skin cancer and would like to see how it is affecting me, how I am coping and how the treatment is progressing then feel free to visit me on my website! I don&amp;#39;t know if it will help you but I do know that writing up the events has helped me immensely.

Click on the outdoor adventure blog and have a read. I am in for a skin graft on Tuesday next week and will be writing more when I get back from that.

Best of luck to you all.

Cheers
