I’m clean until January
Yesterday I had another bit of skin cancer removed. This one was just a BCC (Basil Celled Carcinoma), which is the least dangerous, but most common. However, if it is left untreated, it can progress and become more dangerous.
I was able to snap some great pictures during the procedure (Dr. Ketcham rules!). I have to wait 3 weeks for the results, but odds are good that he was able to remove it all.
I will have to get some updated pictures of my nose. It has healed up quite nicely. I am actually surprised at how well it has healed…
I have my next full body checkup in January. I’m clean until then, I guess.

Ok, so do they just keep popping these little buggers out, or is there something more permanent that can be done?
they just keep popping up. All the stuff that is found now is basically a result of 20+ years of sun damage. Best I can do is take care of my skin from here on out.. to minimize possible future damage.. *shrug*
Congrats on the good news. But I'm mainly struck by one thing in this photo: do doctors always weaer a big fraekin' watch under their latex gloves? Seems funny – thought they had clocks in the OR?
