Well unfortunately I've had to have another skin cancer removed from my face. Being a truck driver for the past 30 years and being exposed to UV rays on the right side of my face and arm I've developed a few and dealt with them. I switched to long sleeves many years ago and haven't experienced any more on my arm.
The last few years I've insisted on window tinting on drivers window but the past is catching up. Luckily I have an exceptional GP who is also a surgeon. :hat:
That's a big hole Chris, it's so good your GP caught it & dealt with it in a timely fashion. All the best mate.
Thanks Col :onya: :onya:
Nasty wound Chris, glad they got it.
Good luck for a speedy recovery :onya:
Good luck Chris - perhaps get a left hand drive truck ?
Good luck Chris, hope all goes well.
Thanks gents.
Unfortunately this isn't my first and certainly not my last I believe, there's a price to pay for living in a sunburnt country.
I'm very cautious now and take preventative action as much as possible. :cheers:
Speedy recovery Chris, my mum just had 2 non malignant skin cancers cut from her leg on Wednesday
Speedy recovery buddy :cheers:
All the best mate.
All the best Chris.
Hope it will go well.
My skin cancer is operated 3 times from face and 2 times from places they can't see the sun.
Good luck!

Hope that heals ok Chris - and that its the last one.
My Mate from golf has had over 120 cut out. Hes now 67, first one at 21. He still looks ok.
Unwanted Face lift Chris - Hope that's all for you - Take up driving with the AC on and FULL FACE HELMET!!
Good luck Chris
All the best Chris!

Hope you healed well Chris.
I know all about the skin cancer scourge. I'm a (now retired) field entomologist and worked outside in horticultural crops for the majority of my working life - plus having grown up beachside in Adelaide.
I think I'm up to a little over 20 surgeries including 2 skin grafts (on my head) and have just survived a month of Tolak skin treatment. Sheeeeit!, avoid that if at all possible. I have a full body scan every 6 months.
Still, better than the alternative.
Cheers, SB
Hope it went well mate.
I have a fortnightly appointment with my skin doctor because of the BCC's I've got. The usual appointment consists of cutting one out then have the nurse remove stitches from the procedure done two weeks prior. This one was a bit more serious than the usual BCC or SCC.
That must have been a big one.
Also interesting to see the diffence in (treatment) healing technique.
"We" Dutch mostly get stitched instead of stapled on the outside.
Heres wishing you a speedy recovery Chris.
At least they didn't have to shave your head first. :)
Sorry to hear about the damn c Chris, you have given me a reminder that I should cover up too.
I spend 10/15 hours driving every day and people have been telling me to sort myself out.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
