Meanwhile, a stoic Lid fights with a quiet resolve to face another day with brain cancer.

Sounds like a blackhead, gam. You can just squeeze it.

Seriously, though, my dad had a little skin cancer about 10 years ago. The treatment was some kinda cream applied to the area which burned like a mug but killed em dead. He continues to live comfortably to this day in the sunny awfulness of southern Florida. I've always heard that if you had to choose a cancer, skin is the way to go. So excellent choice, and godspeed.

Both of my brothers in law have had that procedure. I believe it's called the Mohr procedure. They are both fine by the way.

I'll keep you in my thoughts little Gammil. You're a good dude and you have nothing to worry about. The docs will have you have to 100% in no time so don't fret about nothing. Let's hook up in the next couple of weeks and spit in the face of cells that aren't as cool as others. Jack Socks for life!

I'm getting on the wifey's insurance after we got bought and our kickass insurance package got switched to the shit plan the new guys use. There's a $1600 deductible you gotta meet before getting anything back, so unless you have a surgery or go to the doctor every other week, you're not gonna get anything for the money you put in every paycheck. I'd switch to Obamacare, but I'm white and employed.

it's because of obamacare

Wrong. Somehow the wife's health benefits have remained the same. I just now work for a cheap-ass company.

did Gam survive?

Well boys, add me to the list of forum members checking out. Your old pal greggo's lifestyle finally caught up with him. All of the work I did outdoors when installing signs has cause what the doc said was the "world's smallest basal cell" in the corner of my nose. So I got me an appt with a surgeon in Plano on the 15th to check it out. I'm gonna go ahead and shave my head this weekend so I don't suffer the embarrassment of having clumps of hair randomly fall out from the kemo.

I recently suffered from a basal cell diagnosis myself, cancer brother. The week after Mother's Day I had the Moh's procedure to have it removed.

My dermatologist said the procedure was simple. She was an Ivory girl type, with a kind smile and dimples. The affected area was on my right temple. What they had to carve out was akin to a pimple.

Anydanghoo, it was a tad more intensive than I had expected and the healing period took every bit of 2 months. It was a gruesome looking wound at first, where the basal was removed, but the forehead is pretty much healed to mint condition.

Did you ever get yours taken care of?
