After having melanoma in 2005, I’m diligent about sunscreen and bi-annual full body scans and keeping an eye on my skin for anything strange. I pretty much find stuff faster than my appointments come up, which is what happened this time. I had a spot on my shoulder, so I went in to get it checked out. Turns out it was basil cell carcinoma. The words are scarier than it is. No really! Although, I thought I was OK about the whole thing, until the day I went back in to get it fully excised. I broke down crying a few times that day. But the next day, I put on my big girl panties, took off the big bandage they put on at the doctors office and I put on my Cars 2 Band-Aid. The boys think it is awesome and it makes me feel better. Band-Aids really do make you feel better!

Yikes, I am so sorry lady! I am so glad you caught it - and wanted to tell you that you inspired me to go get something checked out on my leg a couple of weeks ago, and had 2 things removed!
