Hey guys not sure if this should be here or not but just wanted the share this with you.I have been outside all my life and yes I have used tanning beds as well and always avoided dermatologist.Well my wife finally convinced me to go and I have a spot on my lip that came back cancer.Now it is not Melanoma but it is the next one down from that.I have to have another procedure done in office Tues morning where they will basically take layers off my lip until it is all gone.
Protect your self when you are out there repairing because I dont want you too fill the pain that I am feeling tonight or die.This come at a crazy time for me as I was just offered a dream job back in the constrution field as this is where my heart really is.
The windshield repair and God have been sooo good to me!

Sorry to hear this sir. My father was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer back in 2007, although he had surgery to remove the unforgiving disease and to date, has been Cancer Free (Praise God!!) it still can be a worry to you....thank you for sharing this with us, I will pray for you sir' your contributions here on the forum are very informal, I enjoy reading both comments and questions you have!

Take Care Friend!

I am sorry to hear of your troubles, here's hoping you get things sorted fast. Many thanks for reminding us to take care, I must admit I have been lazy about sun protection in the past, but I am trying to get in the habit of sun block when we have some that is. Being folically challenged, bald for want of a better word it is getting more important as I lose more attic insulation.
