Good news. Just had skin cancer (basil cell) removed today. Third go round for skin issues.

Great news and good luck. Let me add my voice to the chorus that tells you you have to stay on top of this and get checked extra regularly. That is something you owe your self, your family, and team of doctors that helped you get here.

Side note: I once had a phone call with Dick Vitale and he was every bit the energetic high octane guy he is on TV.

All good advice - go to my dermatologist twice a year. Never any serious complications. Skin cancer is usually not dangerous if caught early

Living in FL we go to the dermatologist twice a year for a full body skin check. A small skin discoloration may seem like a simple aging spot, but a dermatologist can determine if a biopsy should be done.

I am happy for Dickie V. I met him in Sarasota on Siesta Key several years ago and he was very friendly especially hearing I was a long time RU fan and season ticket holder. Seeing a dermatologist is most important. I have had several basil cells and squamous removed plus three MOHS treatments as when I was a kid I was out almost all day long and kids in the 50's & 60's rarely wore a hat. I have gone to my dermatologist twice a year for many years in fact with the pandemic I must get back to see him again.
