Keep healing and having those positive thoughts. Thank you for your comments on my blog, I meant to come and visit yours ages ago but tempis fugit..and thank you for the book reviews. I have read some of them so I think we have the same choice in books, so am looking up your latest ones as reads for me. I will have to wait to buy them as I decided not to buy in Lent, which is proving much harder than I thought!<br />Be well and enjoy your reading.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332613086771922320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147200001711295327.post-34468897956036882002017-02-26T10:01:53.147-07:002017-02-26T10:01:53.147-07:00This is my first visit here.

Never a problem since and scar faded fast.<br />Since then I have had 3 other skin cancers in various places - none were melanoma. That was all I could think when the doc said I want to take a biopsy on this little spot ... One on each let - squamous cell .. then the basal cell on the back of my heel !! You never know where it will pop up .. that is a scary aspect of it.<br />It is never too late though, use strong sunblock and avoid being out in the direct sun during the hours it is strongest. Don't rely heavily on sunblock .. in combination with shade and clothing , it is good.<br />Don't worry .. you will be fine .Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147200001711295327.post-37423072364147220442017-02-08T14:24:50.348-07:002017-02-08T14:24:50.348-07:00Thank you for visiting my blog.

I don't see her very often so by the time we got together it was all over and done with and her nose had healed perfectly. If she hadn't told me about it I honestly wouldn't have noticed anything.<br /><br />I'm very squeamish so I wouldn't relish re-dressing the wound either - I hope it wasn't as bad as you imagined.<br /><br />I can clearly remember my Grandad putting olive oil on his skin when he was sunbathing. Makes me wince to even think about it. <br /><br />Take care of yourself and I hope the news is good when you return to see the specialist. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147200001711295327.post-30768166895361492302017-02-05T10:27:59.386-07:002017-02-05T10:27:59.386-07:00Get well soon.

We spent our formative years in Singapore and Malaysia and as you rightly identified, there was no such thing as sunscreen. So a huge thank you for sharing. I will be far more vigilant in the sun. Take very good care of yourself.

I...Hello Jan, This is my first visit to your blog. I just had to comment re the skin cancer as I had something similar about 20 years ago (gosh, can it really be such a long time ago?) I can still remember the shock and horror. Mine was in the gap between my nose and top lip, a big wedge of tissue and skin was removed. It took a while to heal, and I had a little further treatment to flatten the scar, but it settled down wonderfully. I hope yours does, too. Like you, I was born in the '50's and sun creams were very different from those of today. Best of luck with the healing process.

I had a similar thing on my eyelid when I was in my 30s. I went to the doctor a couple of times and they brushed me off and treated me as though I was being vain worrying about this little pimple. I saw a locum doctor one day and they sent me to a specialist. He didn't like the look of it and I had it removed. The results showed it was skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma). They said they usually only appear much older people which I suppose explains why the original doctor brushed me off. Good news is that it never reappeared. It taught me a couple of lessons though....always follow my instincts and get a second opinion! I hope you don't mind me sharing this story. Big hugs and get well wishes from France.
