Interesting thread. I've been wondering about nonmelanoma skin cancer. I recently had two such surgeries and can't help but wonder if they were really necessary. One was a tiny little "pimple" and the dermatologist cut 2 and a half inches to be sure he got it.

I think skin cancers on the senior population are virtually unlimited. I feel fairly confident that when I go for a screening next year, he'll find more.

Would love to hear your opinions.
