I’m clean until January

By Critter

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.

Picture and link after the jump.

  • 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? :o)
