Biopsy Results, why I got my skin checked, and what happens next! | BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

Time for sun protection hauls from the land of endless skin protection options 😍🌞

[@Sharon27ify]

Have you ever watched Dr Dray? If you haven't you should check her out - she's a great YT resource for everything sun protection, and she actually has quite a few videos on asian sunscreens!

[@heratlas]

@@Sharon27ify I haven’t but now I’m intrigued!!! Thank you so much!

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Yes! Beware though, some are full of chemicals.

[@etherdog]

Caitlin, there are a couple of things that really stand out in your video. First is your husband's proactive approach towards urging you to get that lesion checked out. Second is your message to viewers to get checked out. Third is the attitude of your doctor that he learned a lesson from your experience and committed to do better by his patients. And fourth, you didn't overdramatize the experience but put this out as a PSA. Respect!

[@duinsophie]

Thank you for summarising exactly how I feel!

[@lollsazz]

Yeas, such a good video, fullof great human behavior!

[@heratlas]

SPOILER EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE IN A FEW WEEKS (I tried to keep the music and energy upbeat for that reason). I hope this video helps encourage you, regardless of your skin tone and age, to get a skin exam. It was SO easy to do, and I have peace of mind moving forward handing the next steps

[@lainewinokur6943]

From one fair-skinned lady to another sending you lots of good and healing vibes. I'm sure it's very stressful to go through this no matter what, but especially with the language barrier it must be even more worrisome. Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable and sharing this with us. I hope Gus Gus (and your husband) are taking care of you!

[@cherylosborne6817]

I am so glad you are sharing your journey with your biopsy and beyond. My dad just went through this and found skin cancer. It’s so important to pay attention to your skin. ❤️❤️❤️

[@heratlas]

Is your dad okay? It's a wee bit scary to hear the C word, and I'm SO thankful my Dr. found it early!

[@cherylosborne6817]

He is doing well, thanks for asking.❤️ He had the cancer removed, they say they got it all. This the second type of cancer he has had. The first battle with cancer almost killed him. 😢 I lost my mom to colon cancer in 1999, so cancer definitely runs in my family. I just have to be vigilant and take great care of myself.❤️❤️❤️

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Good for you and your husband for being proactive with your health! I also was just diagnosed with BCC and go for another biopsy June 7th. Mine is on my left trapezius. It’s so interesting to me that your surface layer is okay and the BCC is under healthy skin. Mine was more of a reddish mole, but I don’t have specifics like they gave you. It’s my understanding that BCC is not hereditary, but that Melanoma is. It is also very dangerous. Yes, as a RN I know it’s very important to get annual checks and sometimes I delay. Won’t be doing that anymore. Make sure that they examine your scalp, ears, bottom of your feet during your full exam. Also, DO NOT wear nail polish to your exam. They will want to examine your nails for anything unusual. We are both going to be okay!❤️🙏🏻

[@junejenneke3235]

Hi Caitlin, first of all, thank you for filming and posting this video. I know someone right now who has a spot 4x the size of yours who only believes in holistic medicine and refuses to get it checked, and I feel so helpless for them. I've been watching you since you packed up to move to Japan and feel like I know you. Please know we all care for you and are praying for a successful surgery and that you can put this behind you. You will help many people by sharing this experience and I wanted to let you know that, even though this was probably difficult to film, you should be proud. Thank you. ❤️

[@lizalove91]

Oh man 😬can you send them this video and tell them it looks similar. That sucks

[@claudiabt143]

I have 2 weird itchy moles and 1 grey looking spot that I have been thinking of getting checked out. When you told us to go to the doctor, I felt like you were talking right to me. Definitely going to get it checked out. I am so glad you caught it early. Sending you all my positive thoughts and vibes. 💗

[@ChicagoRob2]

Make that appointment. Don’t play games with your health. A family friend of mine waited too long for a diagnosis for his SCC. He ended up requiring plastic surgery on his face and is now permanently disfigured. Get a full scan exam once per year and don’t even think about rolling the dice.

[@heidip5042]

So after I saw your post on tiktok, I went and had a spot looked at at the dermatologist, and that spot they told me that was just a spot of skin that I had maybe scratched over and over and now it is a scar. but then they did a full body look-over for me since I have TONS OF Freckles and MOLES and then they removed 3 moles by shaving them off and one was on my foot which really hurts to walk on now, and this week I should have the results of what they were. Hopefully everything will be ok. Thank you for making this video to inform us all because it is important for sure.

[@polocub1429]

My friend had a basal cell carcinoma too on her nose, she had the whole area removed and she’s totally fine and it’s been like 5 years now! Her doctor called it “cancer with a small c.” Glad you advocated for yourself to get the biopsy! 👏🏻It’s SO important to trust your gut and advocate for yourself!

[@luciachavira9642]

My job just offered us a free skin cancer screening, definitely taking advantage of it! Thank you for bringing awareness to this!

[@lonestarjimi9207]

My dad has the same exact thing. He goes every year and just makes sure to look out for anything new in between. It was super scary at first but it really is nothing to worry about. The doctor even told us a lot of people never come in and just live with it. So it’s great that you are ahead of the jump and being proactive!

[@noriko1644]

I am so glad that your husband caught this at this very early stage! I am Japanese, but my husband is not and has fair skin. Thank you for making this video, this is a great reminder for everyone to regularly check oneself and loved ones. You might already know this, but I took a nursing class for general ed credits when I was in college and the professor said there are the following 5 signs of skin cancer, called "ABCDE Rule" that you need to look for: A for Asymmetry B for Border (the outer edges are uneven) C for Color (dark black or have multiple colors) D for Diameter (greater than 6mm) E for Evolving (change in size, shape or color)

[@leeannw484]

I've had a few moles on my face and neck that have popped up in the last 6 months or so. Your video prompted me to ring my doctor today and I'm now in a queue to see a dermatologist xx

[@sarahoffman2491]

This runs in my family, and as I understand it, it's the lower risk of skin cancers (as low risk as it can be). Thank you for sharing your story, such an important reminder to us all!

[@cherlgolja5402]

You’ll be fine your young sweetie ❤

[@jacquelinebelden6216]

I'm 31 and making an appointment for my first ever skin check in honor of your journey, girl. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@FionaCArt]

So glad you pushed for the biopsy! I hope the removal process is super easy and quick for you. I just went to the dermatologist 3 weeks ago for “peace of mind” over an abnormal shaped mole - it was normal. I’ve gotten like 4 biopsies over the years - thankfully all have come back normal. But always a good reminder to get that annual exam! Thank you for sharing with us as always.

[@Princesswheelerwells]

Don’t feel stupid!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 thankful it’s getting addressed now!!! Thank you husband!

[@stvsueoka1]

You’ll be fine. Your brother is correct. Glad you caught it early! That’s the most important thing.

[@alibutterfly82]

I'm glad you got it checked and caught so early - that should mean they'll be able to remove it fully before anything would spread. It's scary though, having a "brush with mortality" like this when you still consider yourself relatively young. Based on when you said you graduated high school, I was probably about the same age as you when I had 2 DVT blood clots a few years apart, got tested for genetic blood clotting risks at the urging of my doctor, and found out I am positive for that. With that first blood clot though... I was terrified; I thought I was going to die. It's really a hard thing to deal with, mentally, when we have our first "serious adult health scares" like that. All I can tell you is that since it was caught so early and you seem to be otherwise healthy, my belief is that this will pass, and I admire your positive attitude about it (even though you may have been putting on a braver face for the camera than you truly feel inside). Sending you positive vibes.

[@elisecormier]

I’m glad you decided to go ahead with the biopsy! Wishing you the best for your procedure on the 8th. Everything will be fine 🥰🥰

[@AngelicatX]

Your husband deserves a Hubby of the Year award. I'm so glad he persisted and I'm glad you opted for the biopsy. I'm also glad the Dr was candid about lack of experience with Caucasian skin. It was a young woman on TikTok who was diagnosed with Stage 4 skin cancer and ended up passing away last year that prompted me to make an appt for a screening at age 45. Her first Dr told her it was fine, years later she went to another Dr and it wasn't fine. It was aggressive and ravaged her body. She documented all of it and it broke my heart. I don't have anything going on on my skin of note, but I am single and don't have the benefit of someone else seeing things I might not. Now, I have a derma that I have an established relationship with and that can monitor any changes or new things for me yearly. That peace of mind is so important, imo. It's really worth it. Thank you for sharing this. I hope your future surgery goes well and they are able to banish those Bccs from your body. ❤️

[@teagibbs]

Caitlin, I'm so glad you got it checked out - and thank you for spreading awareness. We're the same age and two years ago, I had what I thought was a "pimple" on my face that wasn't healing. I went to the dermatologist just to be safe and was shocked to find out I also had a BCC. I had the Mohrs procedure and now get a skin check every 6 months. My dermatologist insisted I switch from a chemical sunscreen to a mineral/physical one (i.e. Zinc-based) for the best protection. I love Supergroup's Mineral Sheer Screen, but I'm interested to see what Japan has to offer! Best wishes to you and quick healing.

[@McGGd1]

So glad you went and got it checked out in the early stages! I am also super fair, live in Florida, and my biological father's side of the family has a history of melanoma. I'm about to turn 30 in a couple months and have been meaning to book an appointment to get a skin cancer screening done but for one reason or another have put off scheduling it, but after watching your update on your biopsy I'm going to make it a priority! Best of luck with the surgery!!

[@jfeliciano1316]

So thankful that you caught it super super early. 🙏

[@Heatherey94]

The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago, I am super fair except I never go out in the sun so I have no idea how I even got the skin cancer. I had to have surgery as well and have to get skin checks. It is quite scary but I’m glad you’re getting it sorted now. Sending all the love and hugs x

[@sharonhague9580]

I am so glad you caught it early and shared it. I do not have a history of breast cancer in my family but I had precancerous cells.taken out when I had my first mammogram. Everyone please get checked

[@kirseitis]

Best wishes and good energy for you in the time to come with surgery and so on ❤️

[@pip5858]

Hey lovely. I'm British and stupidly fair skinned. My dad had a BCC and SCC removed and it made my sister and I both very conscious of our own skin blemishes. I can't say clear enough to everyone, wear factor 50 spf. A tan isn't better than you health. I'm so glad you've been biopsied and are getting the best care. I'm sure everything will go smoothly but good luck all the same.

This video is all types of emotions for me, I’m so so so thankful you went to get it checked out as early as you did. Sending you lots of love and thank your husband for us

[@leoanawitch]

thanks for sharing this! It's very difficult to spot it if it's on your back and people don't seem to remark/comment on it or even understand what they're looking at! the same thing happened to my good friend. he was working out with his shirt off when i saw a brown spot on his back. I didn't know what it was but made a remark and told him to go in for a consult. when the doctor saw it, he immediately took a huge chunk out for biopsy. it came back as carcinoma stage 1A. he had to ut out a bigger portion out after as a precaution. he is in the clear now but will need regular checkups annually. if it's spotted and treated early, it's preventative and should not be ignord! I am glad you listened to your husband and went to get it checked out. you will be okay

[@ptkake08]

Glad to hear the doctor you saw took it as a learning opportunity and will change his care in the future - that's awesome! Also...my husband is a welder and I always harp on him when he comes home with a burn because he didn't wear his gear properly. He never thinks it's as bad as it is until he gets home and he's red as a tomato!

[@ixtahdanielac4922]

I had to get a “irregular” mole (ie- early precancerous)removed about 6 months ago and it’s NOT FUN. I also regret not being more careful in my teens and early 20s but alas, all we can do is just be more careful now to prevent future damage!

[@aileensmith7820]

Sending you good thoughts. The fact that you got this so early is key! Your husband did the right thing. My mom would tell my Dad when he had irregular spots on his back( he’s very fair skinned)and it really helps to have someone who can notice the changes on places hard to see. Glad you caught this early!

[@bluebythebook47]

I am so glad you got it checked out and you have a good prognosis! 🌻

Thank you for your video! Hope it will heal smoothly! I have a lot of moles, so I used to check my whole body every two years in my home country. They would take pictures of me and then compare them. Since I came to Japan 4 years ago, I have not checked my skin. But your video was definitely a wake-up call and I'm going to check it asap, so thank you!

[@ReneeNGa2329]

I work for a dermatology lab. I would’ve gotten your biopsy and the pathologists I work for would’ve diagnosed it. We see BCC, SCC, SCCIS, Melanoma, etc. I’m so happy you went to be checked and got answers quickly. Keep us posted about your excision. Keeping you in my thoughts. 💕

[@EmikoFukui]

I'm glad you got it checked and caught so early. I hope the recovery from the removal goes well. I'm also fair skinned and got some spots on my back checked last Friday. Your previous video and my husband made me want to get it checked. Thankfully it was nothing to worry about. I also really regret not wearing enough sunscreen when I was younger. I think this video is really good for awareness.

[@dennisdegroot7952]

I had BCC on my forehead several years ago. I waited a few years before getting it looked at. When the Dr went to remove it, it had remove the skin down to my skull. The procedure was nothing. I even took pictures of the hole in my head. I haven't had any issues since then. I do get annual checkups now, and have a more proactive view on these things. Rest assured, you will be fine.

[@kaitlinhyatt7966]

Sending all the good vibes & happy it is getting figured out!

[@laurag537]

i am so glad that you went to the doctor! Thanks for spreading awarness. Excessive sun exposure is damaging our skin but we are thought to get a tan because it looks cool... i never liked to stay in the sun so much and my friends made fun of me because i was so white in the summer...

[@nics030]

I'm glad you had the biopsy done. I have your skin and I get a yearly skin check. My mum had 2 skin cancers removed from her face and I can't even describe how big the incisions were (you can hardly tell now that she had it done) but I'm now terrified of the sun.

[@xalafire]

I’m glad it’s not serious omggg… I was a bit worried for you when you shared the biopsy video. Take care! ❤ Interesting fact about welders. I once got sun poisoning on my nose in outdoor school because I didn’t wear sunscreen, but it’s all better, now.

[@nicchartrand504]

I think you are great for sharing...im on my second area that came back positive, Merry Xmas to me! This spot was overlooked at my 1yr full body check. I pushed for this biopsy a few weeks back. My surgery is on Jan 13th, and I will need another biopsy near my spine as I just found another spot. FYI..sometimes they itch, bleed and can mimick the look of an eraser head. The bottom line is ....check urself and look for the signs. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself or a loved one

[@tinahuegel]

While watching, I had the same reaction in my head, as your brother, bc we had different types of cancer in our family (some really bad cases) and your case didn't alarm me right away, if that makes sense. But I understand that it is surprising news and I hope that everything goes well for you! I would maybe be worried too. But at the same time, I think you will be fine, as long as you are careful, get this one thing removed and get checked regularly etc.

[@debbyweinstein7687]

My husband just went through the same thing. His was on the back of his arm, so he couldn’t see the changes in his mole. Our daughter was the one who pushed him to go. He wasn’t listening to me🤦🏻‍♀️ He had surgery and it was all removed… no more Basel cell carcinoma. His dermatologist told him he needs to be seen every 3/4 months for a year, rather than the annual check up. It’s scary to her the word “carcinoma, “ but you will be fine!! You got it early☺️ Sending hugs❤️

[@adarita305]

Sending you good thoughts and wishes for a great outcome ❤️

[@itrickyalove]

Both my nan and my dad had these. They grow really slow and I don't think they can necessarily kill you, but they get harder to remove the deeper they grow (They have to take more tissue). My nan and dad had them on their face, so they had them removed to prevent face damage.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us

[@SamanthaCorrie18]

Basal Cell Carcinoma is not a big deal; it is a recurring type of skin cancer but won't necessarily kill you unless you do not take care of it. It is good that you caught it early, and you can deal with it now. Don't be too hard on yourself for not taking care of your skin; take your past experience as a learning opportunity to do better. Of all skin cancer, no one should have melanoma (the one that can kill you). I am sure this is a slight scare in your life, and I hope your days get easier and better.

[@ChicagoRob2]

I had BCC on my forehead, just above my left eye. I was given two choices: 1) Mohs surgery - appointment in the morning and done in the afternoon. One and done. Caveat: one-inch scar right above the eye. Or 2) SRT - caveat: 20 treatments over a 6-week time period. Advantages over Mohs: no incisions or scars. I went with SRT and am so glad I did. Zero evidence that I had BCC - no marks or discolorations, etc. Just certified cancer-free after five years. My take: BCC in an inconspicuous area - go with Mohs. In and out in one day. Who cares about a scar, when it can’t be seen? Facial BCC: SRT is the only way to fly.

[@laurasmith4162]

I’ve definitely been putting off getting checked 😅 I’ll make my appointment as soon as I get my new insurance

[@susie2251]

These types of cancers are very common in older people. But they do need to be dealt with. My elderly mother had a few removed over the years. But one developed on her face below her eye and it actually did become painful over time and she suffered for a while before getting it looked at. Don’t be upset when you get it removed. The scar might look bad at the beginning but by a year mark, they usually heal up very nice and not noticeable at all. Just the scar looks very red at the beginning and fades to white over time. Make sure you are very very careful with sunscreen on the scar too! Scars don’t heal well if they get sun exposure.

[@Sixty63rd]

the scary skin cancer that we're all so apprehensive of is actually a Melanoma. A BCC is fairly, fairly common and very slow-growing and even though it's technically a cancer but it's one that does not metastasise! So it should be all good! all the best!

[@CMVFlight]

I just made an appointment with a dermatologist because a lump I had in my lower back is now bigger and my skin has become scaly and discolored *black/brown* and it is spreading on my back faster than I realized.

[@DrCorinneDevin]

I am so sorry to hear about your results but just know that basal cell carcinoma is very treatable. As a daughter of a mother who caught it who wears sunscreen religiously it’s one of those cancers that can catch anyone. I am here for you anyway I can be and just know that you are not alone

With intermittent fasting the body goes into autophagy and wonderful things happen - cancer cells are destroyed, as are abnormal proteins, cell fragments etc. autophagy is healing.

[@louisegordon2133]

Last year I had a little lump on my face checked and was told it was an age spot. 6 months later I had another spot checked and it was nothing but I had the first spot checked again and was told it was a BCC. I was so lucky because I am one of those people with a BCC which has micronodules that go sideways and the surgeon actually got the whole cancer out in one go. So glad you got it diagnosed early. Good video to make others aware. 😀
