Take care of yourselves. Do not wait if you notice something new. You are not alone. God bless you all.

[@marylogan]

I have had basal cell carcinoma removed from my back and face. I'm going for yearly mappings now.

[@lavellehovland8553]

I have skin cancer on my top of my head and two years later I have it on my back ,left leg arms areas ,just as you described.

[@GigasAhriman]

my most obvious symptom was a mole suddenly becoming itchy and then started getting bigger

[@wiccangirl6079]

I had Basal Cell Carcinoma on my chest on on 9th of September I'll have a surgery to get rid of it

[@maryjanney1361]

My heart is full of joy and excitement , DR RORPOPOR HERBAL is truly the son of his father the medications I order from him can testified to that , A BIG thanks to you doctor for making me cancer negative completely without any side effects

[@HansaGBB]

Hey. How did it go? I hope you're okay now.

[@daniscf3391]

Thank you

[@felicitydeikos5250]

I had two carcinoma on the nose, three on the arms.

[@danayneashorn4986]

I have a dry spot on my face stings and burns it's ruff feeling I'm seeing a dermatologist tomorrow morning ...

[@barbaramoore5070]

I had some spots on my face and one on my shoulder. All were removed. My dermatologist told me if you’re going to have any type of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma is the one to have. She said that I would never die from this type….I’ve developed a few more spots that I’ll have burned off in a couple of weeks, all on my face. I worshipped the sun all my life…now I avoid it.

[@pinastyrell3148]

What did the doctor say

[@onetruetroy]

@2:21 holy moly! That’s some serious northern latitude skin. I live in Florida, originally from Georgia, and address every little spot seriously. My dermatologist applies the liquid nitrogen and kills those little spots. Don’t be afraid to let your physician know what is happening to your body.

[@IloveLeonardoDiCaprio]

well this is great just found out i probs have skin cancer i randomly got a spot on my skull and it’s been there for a week or two i don’t know what to do

[@niyamusfr788]

You can go and buy fruits which have big seeds inside them, then you break them to get an almond like thing, wait 2 days for them to get bitter (nitrilosides bitterness) then eat them, also you can grow your own wheatgrass and eat less carbs and more fat, and don't eat anything that has added things to them

[@tamtam777]

go see a doctor first then change your diet by eating antioxidant food items these fruits n vegs stop cancer cells from growing.... example: blueberries, black currants, and berries...also dark colored fruits and vegs have more antioxidants and reduce sugar in the diet...

[@kbattles8196]

I had a facial lesion biopsied. Positive for basal cell melonomia . Scheduled to have it removed. The Dermatoligist froze off several other suspicious lesions. Its scary , seeing multiple spots , growths and red spots on skin. Never had a problem , now I am over 50...

[@crocadoodle7101]

There is basal cell cancer and then there is malignant melanoma. They are 2 entirely different skin cancers. Melanoma can be fatal and basal cell is considered far far less worrisome. I wish you good health.

[@michaelfishman7174]

Scary for sure.

[@mariec6056]

I’ve got a big mole on my bk it’s so itchy but nothing else

[@emom358]

Squamous cell cancer above the eye: is this most likely in the skin before the skull, or can it be in the brain?

[@CarpYT576]

I just had a dream about having melanoma... frankly, it sucked

[@yellowpillpeople4745]

I have had a spot on my left arm that popped up after a really bad sun burn that I had to go to the burn unit for. This really scares me wow.

[@GameC3nt]

[@matthewgregory8218]

Im getting a mole removed, on the 24th of May, it maybe a form of skin cancer

[@karudurivinaykumar1689]

My grand mother suffering squamous cell carcinoma.lungs are normal.she got a breathing problem last before death 5 hours it recurrent cancer now she was dead 😭.why she breathing problem tell me sir

[@WholeCosmos]

probably pulmonary edema or congestive heart failure caused by multi organ system failure. kidneys and liver can't regulate electrolyte balance and blood pressure so water backs up where it isn't supposed to be. sorry for your loss.

[@Partaym8-wj9eh]

I have a very large mole i suspect is melanona. The size is about 13mm and its on my stomach. Im wanting to get it removed because it may turn into melanona if not already. Would it be best to remove it at my age and not have it become worse in the future?

[@gideongannaban8824]

I got burned and a black like blister appeared anyone plz tell me it's normal PLZ😭😭😭

[@justice4234]

I had malinoma about 25 years ago due to the meds that I'm on they thought they were going to take my jaw. Before that I had squimacell and Bazil cell all due to the meds I take to keep my kidney. I got it 30 years ago and I try to keep it healthy but I also am fully aware it will reject one day and when it does my life has been one that is a gift to me

My brother today had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from his back. It had been biopsied and it took about a month for him to get the diagnosis. Interestingly, both my brother and my father had a squamous cell carcinoma develop in their perianal area. Biopsied and both successfully treated by surgical removal of the lesion. 👍Caught early (don't ask me how) 🙄

[@diffened]

How did they find the cancer in that region?

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

@@diffened Great question. My brother did not clearly answer me when I asked. And I never did ask my father. They were both caught early though.

[@rahulbeats8251]

Son, in my country India, doctors have developed a cure for cervical cancer. It will soon be available in markets after a few tests. In India, scientists are confident of making cures of many cancers within 1-2 decades. When the cure is available, patients will be prescribed medicines instead of radiation or chemotherapies. I hope we will see these magical and very important inventions very soon. So just remain calm and alert at the same time. Whenever you see unusual lump under your skin, which were not there before or any skin growth, moles that change it's appearance etc, then it's better to book an appointment to a doctor as soon as possible. Because prevention is always better than cure especially when it comes to diseases like cancer which cost 10s of thousands of dollars in current time. Have a nice life ahead.

[@travesty1440]

[@oki3791]

You have any health anxiety?

[@tre.j3589]

How is skin cancer diagnosed? I just come home from the Dermatologist and was told I have early skin cancer and I’m to start treating it with a prescription cream. I’m only 41… and while I had significant sun exposure in my early twenties, I rarely go out side and get sun exposure… when I do I wear spf 45 and have for the past 12 years… Shouldn’t a biopsy be done to confirm it? I don’t want to be taking prescription creams for something that’s not confirmed…

[@clevelandclinic]

Here is information about skin cancer. You may consider getting a second opinion or inquire why the dermatologist thinks it is skin cancer without doing a biopsy. my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15818-skin-cancer#diagnosis-and-tests

[@SteelTearsJulie]

Yes, get a second opinion biopsy must be done to confirm what kind of cancer it is

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

I had a pre-cancerous area on my cheek that was frozen off a couple times by my dermatologist. It kept coming back so I was prescribed 5FU (flouruoracil), a chemotherapy in cream form. Sounds like that's what you were prescribed. It did get rid of the pre-cancerous area. It was never biopsied but I trusted my doctor. They can identify a pre-cancerous area by looking at it. However, I definitely would insist on a biopsy to confirm a CANCER if your doctor is calling it that. EARLY cancer? I wonder if they meant PRE-cancer. If cancer, though, a biopsy is needed to confirm and also designate what type. My doctor has biopsied several areas that looked like a cancer, not pre-cancer. All have been negative. 🙏 Treating pre-cancerous areas is preventative medicine, just like removing polyps during a colonoscopy so they don't eventually turn cancerous. Best wishes.

[@SteelTearsJulie]

I had biopsies and it confirmed that I had skin cancer Some they can freeze off. Some require surgery. I’d rather not put any kind of radiation or chemo cream on my skin I’d rather have them freeze them off or if surgeries required. Remove them be done with it. Like I said, I had biopsies and it did confirm skin cancer and yes, when I was younger, I was a sunbather, but it will catch up to you 40 something years later sometimes 30 years later, depending on the type of skin that you have. I have their skin with freckles and green eyes , you gotta be very careful about some sunscreens even the organic ones because they’re finding chemicals in these sunscreens that cause cancer Just be very careful check with your dermatologist before using any kind of sunscreen make sure it has no chemicals in it. Like I said they’re finding natural organic sunscreens that have chemicals in them. Best wishes, many prayers and blessings coming your way 🙏🏻✌️♥️

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
