Basal Cell Carcinoma: Get It Checked Out

John Lusher always maintained a positive attitude -- even through his skin cancer diagnosis. Find out why he counts himself as one of the lucky ones.

Yep, diagnosed two days ago. Now trying to get this off the side of my face as soon as possible.

[@carolsaylor6151]

just got diagnosed last week. thanks for posting this!

[@karenhackney9920]

I just had my first basal cell removed from the middle of my back. My mom has been dealing with basal cell and squamous cell for over thirty years. We are experiencing the effects of growing up without sunscreen or wearing hats.

I have melonma on my upper back getting surgery in a few days before it spreads

[@area859]

What procedure did you use to remove? Surgery? Cream? Etc

I just had Liquid Nitrogen applied to my Basal Cell Carcinoma. So far so good.

Have you ever had your thyroid checked? It looks somewhat enlarged. Good luck, and all the best!

At this point in my life I’m single, unmarried and undesirable. If I ever get diagnosed with cancer I think I would just let it run it’s course. Gods gift to getting out of this dumb life.

[@Elizabeth-sk1qq]

I hope your life is better now :)

[@bowtech1020]

Actually I feel the same way. Except I was diagnosed. So now I'm even more determined

[@denisemiller5735]

I had it on my left nostril. I opted for radiation and it was a good experience, saved me from the knife and scarring. If it is in your face, look into radiation and if your insurance will pay for it.

I was always out in the sun I wear t shirts and my dermatologist found melonma skin cancer in stage 0 on my upper back even areas that the sun is not exposed to can still get any type of skin cancer please get checked out if you are in the sun alot

[@RockinRNdude]

How are you doing? 🙏

[@sophiebenson1069]

I went today with this lump on my hairline which I’ve had for 4 years they said it could be bcc I’m only 25 I haven’t been in the sun too much or on sunbeds.

[@iPrinceHarry]

I barely see the sun because I'm from the UK, but I have a big lesion under my eye lid which is getting removed next week, all to do with genetics and being a ginger at heart that's all it took

[@VanLife101]

This guy is "in the healing stage" as he says. Why is there no video (or image of him) after he has healed?

[@bowtech1020]

I am rarely out in sun. And wear a hat every day. Didn't Matter still diagnosed with bcc. But i don't believe it doesn't spread. It definitely does. And mine is tiny doesn't matter. It spreads. Mine is unfortunately in a spot that will not be good for surgery unless i want my artery cut

[@Hebrews123]

Only skin cancer I would probably deal with personally would be melanoma

[@butterfly23faith84]

What would happen if you didn’t get it checked? What if you had one and didn’t know it . Will it kill you ?

[@susanlombardo8444]

THAT IS the question!!!! if you did nothing, would it kill you? I am no doctor, but most everything they treat is mostly not medically necessary! A Doctor’s Quote, “The Solution to Pollution, is Dilution”. Alone, that could probably cure about 40% +, of all illnesses. We are surely being over treated.

[@nolifezay4636]

Did u find out

[@butterfly23faith84]

[@susanlombardo8444]

Or, are they over treating?
