Skin Cancer. Here I go again.

A few weeks ago I had a biopsy taken on my forehead of a mole that had come back from a previously excised mole that was confirmed basal cell carcinoma. Today I got the results, and it is indeed positive once more. I'll have to have it removed again, only this time the margins will have to be much bigger. My options as far as the removal here are limited. I can go to Germany and have a Mohs surgeon remove the mole, have one of the general surgeons here, or wait till April for the plastic surgeon. I don't want to go to Germany. The thing is, this is a reoccurrence, at present, the Mohs surgical removal method is the most effective way to remove all of the cancer cells, but still preserve healthy skin tissue. Yet the thought of going to a base in Germany, stay there a week or possibly more to have the procedure isn't something I'm keen on doing.Sigh.I may wait to decide until I get results for another excision I had on a mole that returned on my back that was very close to the spot I had melanoma in.Wear sunscreen. Trust me. The damage done to my skin occurred in childhood and during my teen years. I stopped attempting to achieve a golden, sun kissed skin when I was 19, and managed to get a sunburn so bad I landed in the ER. Everyday, I have sunscreen on. Every. Single. Day.My skin color is pale. I've learned to love it.Here I am being all reflective in Crete. Sunscreen 100 SPF on my body, 110 SPF on my face.If you'd like to check out other posts I've written on my skin cancer experiences, click right here.
