Skin squamous cell carcinoma (recurring)

@jodes1984 Like @grammato3 I have had many different skin cancers. And, yes, my melanoma was like hers, "amelanotic" with no color. There is a beauty of a 32 stitch scar on my right forearm as a souvenir of that surgery.

Anytime we find an area that doesn't look right, or we get checked, it really is natural for us to get anxious. I have had rapid-growing aggressive squamous cell cancers, too. Fortunately, my doctor takes me seriously if I need to call and tell them there is an area of concern. But, they will still do a biopsy to make sure, so the correct treatment is done.

We will be interested to see the results of your consult!

@gingerw Thank you so much for your reply, how are you feeling now? I'm so pleased you have a Dr that listens and takes you seriously.

If you don't mind me asking, how did they treat your aggressive SCC? X
