I also then in the 1990s had surgery on my back for 2 or 3 squamish cell carcinoma.However, since then mostly it has been just freezing things off before they became a problem. Basically, they give any pre-cancers frostbite and they turn black and fall off before they become a problem.
This all started with the death of my aunt in 1995 from
Melanoma which was on her forearm and metasticized into her abdomen quickly within 6 months to a year. So, you have to get these things fast, (within 6 months to a year if they are melanomas or you likely are dead).
However, though you usually have 6 months also to a year before Squamish cells and basil cells become a problem usually 95% of the time they are not fatal and don't metasticize into something worse in some other part of your body.
However, now it is quite common for young people (mostly white young people) even in their teens and twenties who are sun bathers to die from a melanoma because they think they are immortal because they are young. This isn't true anymore because of changes in the sun worldwide because of changes to our atmosphere worldwide and because more cosmic rays get through because of a depleted (down to 0% to 10% in some areas magnetosphere). So, anyone at any age can get skin cancer now if they are out in the sun enough or get a bad sunburn.
So, if you see anything strange on the skin of any of your children or young people you are around say something to them about it. You can look up Google images under Skin cancers to know what the different kinds can look like so if you see something suspicious say something so it can be analyzed to see what it is by a dermatologist. But, most times it is people who spend a lot of time in the sun in their lives through either work or play and the worst cases often are in fair skinned white people, especially people with red or blonde hair and blue or violet periwinkle eyes or green eyes or hazel eyes. (even though brown eyed people also get skin cancers too.)
The latest skin cancer thing was a surprise to me. I thought for the longest time I had an ingrown hair spiraling inside my right ear lobe so it hurt or itched 24 hours a day for a year or more. But, a few weeks ago I thought I would look up "Basil Cell carcinomas" on Google images and had a scare because one of the ways they can look like looked exactly like what the scab on my ear was doing. So, I was scared. I hoped I hadn't waited too long because my dermatologist had frozen this same thing off 2 years ago already and now it had come back. So, I went to see her and she didn't think it was a basil cell carcinoma when she took a flesh plug out of my ear and put two stitches in. Today I went in to have the stitches taken out and found out it was malignant and I have to have mohs surgery on my ear lobe. This was a lot to deal with for me today on top of everything else lately. But, it is good I know and can now move forward before it becomes even more problematic.
However, what is good is 95% of the time or more Basil Cell Carcinomas never metasticize and I have been very lucky so far. And so far I have never had a melanoma which often are fatal if you don't have them removed in time.
So, pray for me as I likely need it now in my life if you would like to.
I talked to angels about it and they told me I had caught it in time so it wouldn't be a problem. However, we are all human trying to live as long as possible for our friends and family so we can be of help to the world for as long as possible in any way that we can.
By God's Grace
