I had jet black hair but am very fair

That’s on my right forearm
 
I live in the tropics but assume I started the skin cancer when I lived in the subtropics
This state (Queensland, Australia) has the dubious honor of being the worlds leader for skin cancer
 
My brother in law was plagued by skincancer. So much so he would have some cut off every year, and he was a avid outdoorsman.

The last 20 or so years of his life he would only wear long-sleeved shirts and a Mexican style Sombrero when he was out.

Here's to a speedy recovery.
 
Lots of us fight the nasty stuff. So far mine have all been the basal cell variety requiring only small cuts. My dermatologist seems to have a large and freshly loaded pressure can of liquid nitrogen awaiting me every six months to zap solar keratoses. I look like I was hit with a load of no. 6 shot when I walk out.

Keep staying on top it!
 
Just survived my first colonoscopy. . . That dentist will never be the same!!!
I get My face cleaned with acid and the liquid nitrogen and the doctors favorite little burner every spring.
There is a history in my family so I stay on top of it-glad the op does and hope the rest of you keep checked up as well.
 
Just had Mohs surgery myself. I assumed it was no big deal. Being scheduled in to a surgery center should have been a clue. Heal quickly Ray.

I get checked every 6 months
Got “nitroed” on top of my head too
 
Every 3 months for me. I have dermatologists that I regularly see in Alaska, Louisiana and Texas.
 
I’m a fair-skinned redhead who has had multiple bad sunburns as a kid and young adult. I am assuming this is in my future. My sister is the same complexion as me and had cancer removed from the side of her face with the same procedure as @WAB that left quite a scar.
I hope everything goes well for you @Dr Ray

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
