My mother has skin cancer?!
Question:
My mother has skin cancer?
My mom has skin cancer and I'm really scared. She had skin cancer right below her nose, and got that treated. Now she has it on her forehead. Should I be worried? The last time she got her skin cancer treated, she was perfectly fine. Please help?
Answers:
Not to worry! Skin cancers are sometimes common occurrences in people with light, fair skin. I have just completed the third minor procedure to have a skin cancer removed from my nose. They were all the most simple form called basal cell carcinoma. it's the kind that can be treated with a minor surgical procedure called Moh's surgery.
She should have the one on her forhead checked. If its really a skin cancer, she should have it removed using the Moh's surgery. The surgery is fairly simple and is pain free for the surgery. There might be some minor swelling or pain after while it is healing due to stitches, etc.
There might be a small scar after healing also, but better a scar than cancer!
Good luck! take a look at the article in the link. It's very well done.
