There are three major types of skin cancer. The deadliest is melanoma, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, the least dangerous. Other skin cancers are listed here. In 2005, I had a small lesion removed from my upper back. I couldn’t see it but it felt like a pimple that bled and would not go away. The biopsy showed a basal cell carcinoma. The dermatologist excised it with a large margin of tissue around it and started me on annual skin checks.
You had two skin lesions, and they have been dealt promptly. Nodular BCC and Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ, both completely excised.
Good.
Do not get uptight.
After night, daylight always comes.
Everyday in the morning bless yourself.
Bless your family and friends, including all the pathologists in the world.
You will be relaxed and do very well.
I enclose loads of best wishes for you.
