I was first diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma in late 2022. I was a little surprised, but not entirely. Only because I was a sun worshiper as a teenager. Even though I’ve used really strong sunscreen for the past 10 years, I always knew that would come back to haunt me. So, it was on my back near my shoulder blade and they did the cut and burn. It took me a really long time to heal, which was frustrating and a little depressing. Now I finally have a pink scar that is getting better week by week. Then, I had an Atypical Mole on my right leg that was severe. So they gave me two stitches for that, and the margins were clear. I came on this forum to talk about my story, but more importantly, to help others.
Hi Missyx and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
