I’m on my 4th face skin cancer but this time I have the squamous cell one. Waiting for surgery coming up. But I have a lot of faith and able to accept whatever’s giving me. I won’t have treatments I’d rather live longer.
So there is something I just don’t understand.I have sun damage all over my face from tanning .. I am now doing 5% FU to kill any precancerous cells and post basil cell that was just beginning. So I have been watching so many videos about skin cancer and those that I have watched that have gone through MOHL’S surgery all have the prettiest clear skin! I have so much sun damage and never have had any surgery .Thank You God. I’m just confused how the perfect skin people have skin cancer and how I have been so lucky.
Hi Cheryl! Glad you're finding some preventative solutions to your sun damage! Good question about why some of us are luckier than others. This has been several years ago now for me, but if I recall correctly, my surgery was needed because I had squamous cell carcinoma, which is a "worse" cancer than basal. In my own research, I found that certain people are more likely to get skin cancers of various types, especially people like me, of Scandinavian descent with very fair skin. There are other factors too. Some people can spend lots of time in the sun without any serious effects, and then some people like me, who have always been very careful to wear sunscreen, for whatever reason are more inclined to develop cancerous spots. There are so many factors so it's hard to say exactly why, but I now know that I have to be on the lookout.
I'm glad I found you I was just diagnosed with this in my face they said I have 2 options and that chemotherapy and radiation or surgical I'm 31 years old this is heart breaking 😢😢
I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this! I've had a clean bill of health since my surgery two years ago, and I pray you'll have the same great outcome! Feel free to message me if I can help at all!

I had 22 rounds of radiation no cutting. So grateful.
