Cedar Sinai, excellent.
Photon radiation to the neck and lower jaw managed to blow the hair off the back of my head in a very straight line. It grew back after a couple months but was baby like soft for a year or so.
Squamous cell carcinoma internal.
Your cancer in the forehead location seems to me a little more difficult to pinpoint the radiation and avoid damage elsewhere. Your case is a little more rare than what we normally get on this feed so I’m interested on how your treatment is performed. Please keep me posted.
My wife chastised me for my vanity comment. I really was trying to be light of the matter at hand. You would be surprised at the number of people who avoid surgery or radiation and basically would rather die than be scarred or disfigured and to me that is so disheartening. So for that I apologize. I wish you good healing. Please keep me posted.

I sure will keep you posted.
I really appreciate talking to someone. It’s not that many people I know who have been diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer that needs radiation.
It honestly was just a small scar after a biopsy.
I had it on my face for quite a while.
And the dermatologist that I saw, did not seem concerned.
Then, right before I had the Mohs Surgery, I noticed that the scar grew.
Unfortunately, it was a more rare type called desmoplastic.
Thank you for your apology. I’m not trying to be just concerned about appearance. I’m really not. I just want to look and feel normal as you probably did too.😊
I hope you are doing well after all your treatment.
