I had to pull forward my six-monthly skin check this week because of a suspicious little spot that popped up on my noggin. Looks like another baby melanoma. The dermo took a biopsy for testing but I reckon I’ll be back under the blade next week. I’m not much fussed. This is my fourth go around with these things, and I’ve lost count of the lesser skin cancers I’d had cut out – so many now that I can narrate the op as my doctor does it.
Indeed you are a sterling example to the rest of us old white skinned QLDers (expat and otherwise) to keep an eye on these things. And for stuff like cancer you are either a sterling example or a salutary warning so I am glad you chose the former.
Had a biopsy today on the side of my nose, right next to my eye. Even worse, freezing a lump right on the corner of the same eye as well as a patch on the opposite eyebrow. I look like a very pathetic loser of a street brawl. Fingers crossed for no further action. I am white as the driven snow so only to be expected 😒
I figure it's the raw life skills of drafting minutes that'd stand me in good stead come the apocalypse.

Yep, join the club. Dermo found some more last week. Back to the docs for biopsies, yadda yadda. Better out that in, I say. Sames goes with QLD...

Geez, hope it goes the way of the others. I have my yearly check coming up in a couple of months
Good work keeping on top of this, too many people don’t…
It can be a bit of an embuggerance, but it sure as hell beats the alternative. The price we pay for growing up in SE QLD in the 1970’s.
Ouch, at least you caught it early.
Good luck and embrace the weight loss.
Best of luck with the dermatologist.
