Hi Deanna!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I too have had some "spots" removed from my face which turned out to be pre-cancerous. I have a follow-up visit with my Dermatoligist this wednesday. Unfortunatley, the damage to our skin usually occures many years before it materializes due to exposure to the sun. I am now a firm believer in the use of sunscreen. As a construction worker for the past 35 years and a fisherman and outdoor enthusiast, I have exposed myself the the damage caused by the Sun's rays. I am now in the market for a cool looking, wide brimmed hat. For the parents out there, start your children on the use of sunscreen and reduce their exposure to the sun as much as possible. Thanks again for sharing and best wishes.
Bob
