hi ada,

someone else pointed out that you need to know what kind of skin cancer it is....the truly dangerous one is melanoma, but basal cell and even squamous cell are easy to treat WHEN CAUGHT EARLY.....i've had several basal cells removed (face, neck, back), and had no recurrence in the same spots.....it's about 25 years since i had the first one taken off which tells u that treatment is effective.

find out exactly what it was for your own peace of mind, but it was probably basal cell....they normally do minor surgery for the others.....hope you are doing reasonably well otherwise.
