Default Re: Sun Screen or Skin Cancer?

Cave:

I went through the same treatments as you...first the melenoma removed from my forearm, the the Efodex (sp?) treatments for a few weeks. And then yearly chest x rays and an occusional MRI brain scan. The two places melenoma like to travel to are the lungs and the brain. I've been clear for about 9 years now.

Second point...ask your dermatologist about the recent success of the intected culture that kills melenoma cells. This was in the news a couple of weeks ago.
