Biopsy confirmed: I have squamous cell carcinoma

@grammato3 @gingerw Hopping on to say I received a new pig placenta patch on the excavated site of my SCC yesterday. Though I got bumped off the road by a staph infection over Memorial Day wknd, swelling is way down and the infection gone and I'm pronounced back on track. Happily so. This I-graft process has required a little more perseverance than I'd anticipated, and the debridement of the wound site each week is no picnic, but I'm making progress.
From time to time I've wondered if I shouldn't have gone for the skin graft option, but I've no confidence that method would have been any easier or less problematic. Additionally, I'd be dealing with two surgical sites, not one, as in the I-graft placenta patch. It doesn't pay to look in the rear view anyway, right? Full steam ahead...well, full steam when I'm not icing and/or elevating my right leg. I am getting some major reading done in all this 'leisure' time. Just finished a beautiful novel about a young Jewish girl in the 16th century and am now tackling The Lincoln Highway, a more contemporary piece set in 1950s America.
