I'd also like to go back to donating blood. Skin cancer sucks, folks.
I agree that it does suck!! My husband is close to being the 'poster child' for skin cancer. He's had it every year or 6 months since we've been married (43 years). Yes, he has MOHs, beam treatment, etc and is very careful for a month or so and then goes back to old habits. Frustrating but he does bring on some or most of the skin cancer himself. Take care of yourself and hoping for a quick recovery! So happy they found it in time.
