Thanks woody, turns out this sucker is a nasty SCC and will get the chop next week. Will then discover if I need radiation or whatever.
Cheers

One on the starboard side is a bit nasty as well.. Quack will take a fair chunk out in front of my ear and near the jaw to rid me of it. While its not the galloping gangrene, it would get nasty if I let it go.
Thanks to all for your kind words and encouragement, while it hasnt been pleasant im sure im in good hands.
Wear sunblock folks. When I was in the air force we would wander around the tarmac in shorts and bare tops. RAAF didnt supply sunscreen or cooling vests in those days. A number of blokes I worked with have all had chunks taken away due to similar cancers as mine.
Not sure I like that word, "cancer"!
Be well.

Hi P
I'm a bit late on this thread as I rarely read this Forum.
I have had several SCCs cut out over the last few years. No problem if you get them early.
If you are in the hands of a Specialist I would expect that he has done or recommended a full body exam. If they haven't, I would strongly suggest that you do have one.

Thanks Cupie,
Quack did a stem to stern and all ports inbetween first up. This Tuesday (30th) he chops out the starboard bumps and spots. Went to a mates funeral yesterday who had been fighting the big C for 2 years. Brings everything into focus for me.
Thanks folks, will let you know what happens.

Thanks John, and all of you. More than appreciated.
Currently: Have had Bowens lesions removed and will start Efudix treatment in a week. This should end the problems with my dial. Quack now wants me to front up every 3 months for a stem to stern. He found a SK on my fore arm and froze it now gone with new skin peeking through.
Thanks again folks, its been a scary few months.
Cheers
