Take a look at yourself REALLY LOOK !!!!!

Yep, I have an appointment with a dermatologist next Tuesday to get some of the nasty's burned off my face. (first time) I probably won't be in any family Christmas photos, but that's fine if it does the job.

"AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE."

As you already know the idea here is so you WILL be in Christmas pictures.

Got a call today. Going in for consultation and surgery Jan. 2nd 2015. I know i will be able to kick this but im nervous.....The surgeon i work with gave me the heads up on this. They get you ready and start cutting away and check there skin samples from you under a microscope. They will keep going until they get clear skin without any cancer cells.Im not nervous/scared about the cancer its what will be gone. Being possibly disfigured isnt really a issue either its that if it happens to be bad am i going to be able to work? I look after alot of people alot kids......Not sure if its going to go over well is all.I was off with my back for 6 months and with all these dam health care cuts im nervous...........

I will keep you and your family in my prayers that all goes well. Like you said this stuff is not to be ignored as it can kill you. Growing up in S Fla long ago we never gave it a thought that bad sunburn could do so much damage to us later in life. Pretty much lived on the water boating and fishing with dad. Funny we thought being tan was good for us. Who new?#-o

My best friend, someone I met when we were seniors in HS back in '69, my main wrenching on cars buddy, died in '04 because he ignored a spot on his side until it was too late to stop what was going on.

Since I had moved to a different state in '93 I rarely saw him and did not know about it until he called me one day and told me he had 6 months to live. Had I been there I'm sure I would have found out about it and hounded him to get it checked out. Over the years we shared many adventures and had a lot of fun doing stuff with cars. I think of him often and really miss him, I've even had dreams occasionally where we are together wrenching on something.

So if you have something you're wondering what it might be, PLEASE get it checked out. Ignoring it could possibly cut your life much shorter than it could be and leave your family and friends with a big hole in their heart.
