Finally got the call today. The thing on my forehead is basal cell carcinoma. My Mohs surgery is scheduled for this Thursday at 8 AM. I originally thought I would be ok to come to work at 1 that day, but after talking to some of the nurses here and doing more Googling, I've decided to stay home that day. It's really going to depend on how many times they have to take me back to cut more of the cancer out. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too bad; I noticed it after only a few months. Some of the stories I read online, people had waited years to get it checked out.
Anyway, now I'm Googling which sunscreen is the best (some sunscreen ingredients cause skin cancer...did you know that?) and thankful that I bought Bio Oil for my piercing scars. I still have some left and I'm sure I'll be using that on my forehead after it heals.
I'm sorry to hear about the news.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a speedy recovery and they get every thing the first time. Keep us updated on the type of sunscreen you decide to use.
