Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting 800,000 Americans each year. In fact, it is the most common of all cancers. One out of every three new cancers is a skin cancer, and the vast majority are basal cell carcinomas, often referred to by the abbreviation, BCC. These cancers arise in the basal cells, which are at the bottom of the epidermis (outer skin layer). Until recently, those most often affected were older people, particularly men who had worked outdoors. Although the number of new cases has increased sharply each year in the last few decades, the average age of onset of the disease has steadily decreased. More women are getting BCCs than in the past; nonetheless, men still outnumber them greatly.

I go back in on wednesday for them to cut a bit more off and check me out.
So, we caught it early, identified it and got it taken care of fast and easy.
Kinda cheap too.
So for those of you good folk who were worried, dont be. We're probably GTG.
And for those of you getting a lot of sun, or get very little like me but burn easy, wear some freaking sunscreen!
