Yep. One spot. Now I stay out of sun except wearing a hat and long sleeves. Well, some sun just not excessively.

I had a very small mole on the middle of my back. Luckily my PCP noticed a change and sent me to a dermatologist. A biopsy was done and it was a malignant melanoma. It was surgically removed and she was able to get it all. It's been 5 years and I've been pronounced cancer free. I was very lucky.

I have had precancerous moles that have been removed but I have been blessed so far to not have had skin cancer

I am fortunate to say I have not :)

Not yet. Both of us have family histories of basal cell carcinoma and get checked yearly.

As a redhead, I burned a lot as a child. It surprises me that I have not had this diagnosis.

Carl Evans

I have enough health problems without that.
