Thanks, Snoopy. I am not concerned about the removal of the skin cancer lesion. I am concerned about how quickly a slow growing cancer grew. Hopefully, it grew out and not in...

I finally received permission from my neuro to stop the Rebif. I began breaking out in hives and patches of my skin began to blister and peel. On top of it all, my daughter-in-law shared her summer cold germs with me...

I am not going to my granddaughter's softball tournament tomorrow...it's a day of gargling warm saltwater and rest. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Bddouglas, I am sorry to read about your squamous cell carcinoma.

Almost always they grow "out but not in".

I have had a couple removed with no subsequent problems. They were probably an effect of sun exposure here and as a matter of routine I check myself for anything which looks dubious.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a known side effect of Rebif treatment but it does not seem to be very common Is SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA a side effect of REBIF ? ( FactMed.com ).

I understand your concern

Mine just showed up and grew quite quickly. The Dermatologist removed what was on my scalp, sent it to be biopsied and called me with the results: squamous cell carcinoma. I needed to go back in to have more removed and when they did it was believed he got it all. This was confirmed by the second biopsy. I have never had a return of skin cancer. The worst part for me was knowing my hair would not, and has not, grown back in the surgical area (it's a vanity thing).

It will be okay Bddouglas

Thank you both! I am a bit frustrated, I guess. If I go back to Tecfidera, being JCV+, I am running risk of PML...as you can see that would be my luck...lol I have until August before I have to make that decision, my next neuro appt.

I have a friend that has been harassing me to try Plexus products just for overall health (of course she sells it). I am thinking about a 7 day trial at this point. I figure, what can it hurt, at least it is all natural supplements...lol

My summer head cold has quickly gone to my chest. Thankfully, I have Ventolin inhalers on hand so I can breathe. I see an urgent care visit in my near future if it continues its course...When it rains it pours....lol #ThatIsMyLuck
