Waiting on the doc to come back and take the bad spot out. Looks like it will be the same as 3-4 years ago. Skin out a diamond shape and sew it back together. Just like a bad spot on a pelt. [Linked Image]

Dang Danny, hope it's as easy as all that. Hopefully they get all the bad stuff cut out.


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Danny, Did they get it early? Hoping there's been no movement.

Wife had a spot the size of a pencil eraser on her deltoid. She now has a 5” scar where they did the diamond incision. Thankfully nothing had made it to her lymph nodes. Changed the way I approach direct sun on my skin.

Best of luck to you a prayers your way. Her doctor told us they’ve come light years in treating this since just a decade or two ago.

Right shoulder. All sewed back up. Got one on my ear they are going to do in a couple weeks. Its a squamous cell. Had that and basil cell before. What I dont like is getting precancer froze off with that spray stuff. Feels like a mini flame thrower stead of freezing.

I hope they get it all Danny.

I am having a spot cut off of the tip of my right ear and one by by left eye on Thursday. My mom and one of my best friends had cancer removed from the same spot on their ears. They are removing the whole growths and will test them for cancer.

I hope they get it all too. They seem pretty confidant. I pulled my traps this morning. Got everything skinned and one coyote fleshed. Not ready to turn yet. Put stuff in the freezer. Think I will wait a couple days to flesh. Thinking I might pull a stitch if I dont.

Had a friend many years ago that ignored a spot on his chest. When he finally got it checked because it was getting pretty big it was too late. In his 30’s left behind a couple youngsters being complacent. Sad deal. It’s good you’re on top of it.

I miss the days when sunshine was good for you and a dark tan was a sign of good health.

Danny I had small one them cut off side my face back in think June?? Last Monday I went in doctor office. Gal washed my whole face with Acetone. Like prepping me for some kinda paint job LMAO.Then she put some chemical on had to sit there hour and half while it soaked in. After the she stuck my head in this light the call blue light. 15 minutes of that to activate the chemical on small cancer and pre cancer spots. Said the spot where them cells were would feel like a bee sting. Wasn't to bad overall but had a couple spots was like having one the yellow jacks on my face. After that I had to stay in the house out of the sun for two days. That was pretty easy as it was cloudy and days being short. Part of why I scheduled it for December.
Anyways all this cancer stuff doesn't seem to many people get a total pass on. Always something.

I think I could too. Takes a lot of lidocaine though. All those little red spots are where they injected it. Have to be tougher than me to do it with out lidocaine. I know a vet I could get some from.

she didnt use a baseball stich. Tied each one. After I asked about fleshing when I got home and told her what it was. Said if one popped they wouldnt all come loose. The last one I had done he did some kind of whip stich. He cut one knot and pulled it all out. Almost no scar.

I'll say this . . . you're a fool if you don't wait a week two for resuming normal activities AFTER the stiches come out, and your DR. is an idiot for not telling you that!

Did you pop some SJA? This is literally just a skinned patch. If one or two pops it wont be life threatening.
