Thanks for your input, BTW. I use SPF 50 everyday since last year, by doc’s reccomendation.

I’ve had Basal Cell cancer 3 times on my nose and had it removed by MOHS surgery the last two times. The last time they had to remove half of my nose and rebuild it from my forehead. It is called a forehead flap procedure, I’ve several pictures on my site of the cosmetic surgery and the healing process that followed.

Exposure to way too much sunshine is what caused me to get the basal cell carcinoma.

Even though I no longer work out in the sun, there is still a good chance that I’ll have more instances of basal cell. I can only hope that work on this pill moves quickly. That would certainly be a preferred method. I will say though that MOHS surgery isn’t all that bad. Other than taking longer, it’s about like a dentist visit to get a tooth pulled.

As the article states, Basal Cell cancer is the most common, but it is also the easiest to prevent. Use commonsense when out in the sun, wear sunscreen and protective clothing. A good tan is pleasant to see but a disfigured face is somewhat less so. My grandmother used to say often how “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” With basal cell carcinomas that is very true.
