Yesterday I had a sun-related skin cancer growth removed from my right cheek. My dermatologist took the whole thing (it preceded me into rooms). He called it a biopsy.
Next week we get lab results and find out if he has to do a small production or a large production (his words). Now that I'm not working outside anymore this seems extremely unfair.
I no longer like irony.
Has anyone else has this on their face? I had two small ones removed from my chest in the last two years, but they were nothing like this.

Saundra, what a frightening thing to go through!
I had a similar scare this past year, a small growth just above my mouth. She removed the whole thing to do the biopsy...took a long time to heal. Thankfully, it was "pre-cancer" and doesn't seem to be anything to worry about.
Saundra, I'll be carrying you in heart-prayer! Waiting to hear back is so discomforting, isn't it!

Thanks for your kind words, Eagle and Ms. M.
Yes, Eagle Heart. Waiting to hear back is discomforting. Knowing is a better place to be so you can move forward.

I have a friends who's husband had to have the upper rim of one ear nearly removed. He's an avid golfer and was an athlete in his younger years and would never be caught dead with sunscreen on. So, they had to rebuild the little rim on the top of his ear from skin grafts and stretching his own skin (ouch!!)- he's a sorry little puppy right now. Wonder if he will change his ways.
