Basal cell carcinoma surgery and skin graft - anyone else had the same?

---

I've had a full thickness skin graft for a basal cell carcinoma on my left temple on my face, but after 3 months, my wound site where the cancer was (not the skin graft site) is still painful. Anyone else had this?
I had a basal cell carcinoma on my nose removed April 3rd 1991.
Now its beginning to peel. I've made arrangement to see a skin specialist.
I would suggest you do the same. It can be very painful. The likelihood of the cancer coming back, while still in the back of our minds, is minimal at best, its still there and very real, and very scary. Go see your DR. its important. And refrain from being in the sun. Your to important/special to not go see about it.  (+ info)

My mother had both non small cell carcinoma and breast cancer twice, am i at a greater risk for getting it too?

---

She recently lost her life after 14 years of batteling the disease. i have an appointment to discuss genetic testing in about two weeks. i just wanted to get some info about it. thanks.
Do yourself a huge favor and go to NetFlix or a video store and rent the movie called "Healing Cancer." You need to understand what is happening with this disease. The medical solutions are incredibly terrible. They are so terrible in fact, that the only disease that is defined as "CURED" as a five year survivability. No other disease is looked at that way. Ask yourself why? The answer is to make it look like modern medicine is succeeding with this disease, but it is miserably failing and for good reason. The chemotherapy helps only about 2-3% of people and according to medical research statistics, any drug that has less than a 30% success is considered no better than a placebo effect.

People who do not get treated medically statistically live longer than those that do. There are wonderful alternatives that are working and people are getting well. Don't be afraid of this disease, but do get proactive in searching the truth. Get the genetic testing, but don't fret the results and get educated, not indoctrinated.

good luck to you  (+ info)

What is considered early stage squamous cell carcinoma?

---

I had a wart-like area below my lower lip for a long period of time which comes and goes intermittently in long period intervals. Now I have 2 sores under my lower lip that will not heal. I have been using proactiv assuming it was a type of acne. They scab over and unfortunately I do remove the scab. This has been going on for approximately 1-2 months.So what is actually considered an early stage?
Any sore that doesn't heal in a month needs to be evaluated as a potential skin cancer. This could be either a basal or squamous cell or nothing serious. If it was me I'd make an immediate dermatologist appointment and find out for sure what was going on. If you have only had the lesion for a couple months then it is probably early stage. You don't state your age but skin cancer is rare in people under 25 however your description does fit skin cancer perfectly. See a Dr now and get a biopsy. I'd quit using anything on the sores until you get an answer from the Dr. good luck

Is there evidence that spray on tanning predisposes a person to squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma?

---

I know that sun exposure and tanning booths (UV rays) predispose a person to these forms of cancer, but does the risk lessen if a person gives up these methods of tanning and uses a spray on tan method?
Are you saying that spray on tan has nothing to do with the development or continued development of squamous cancer cells? Rather, that it's all about the light treatments....?
It depends on how much UVA damage has already been done when the person switches from tanning to spray tan. There is a point of no return with UVA exposure after which the skin becomes permanently damaged and squamous cell cancers will continue to develop despite staying indoors and wearing sunscreen.
Some people with psoriasis or other skin ailments that required numerous UVA light treatments to clear up their skin are now plagued with a high rate of development of squamous cells many years after they quit doing the light treatments. The same risks hold true after long term tanning or real sun exposure.

What is the difference between the hyperthyroid disease and the thyroid carcinoma?

---

GREETINGS, hyperthyroidism is that your thyroid is working too fast and usually people are very thin, cold, hungry but don't gain weight easy and it can be fatal if not treated, thyroid cancer can do the same thing, the same symptoms but the cancer is a growth on the thyroid, nodule or tumor, that causes the thyroid to not function right, and sometimes when and if the growth can be removed without removing the thyroid itself, you will revert back to normal. If they remove the thyroid due to cancer, then you will be on meds for life as you will be come hypothyroid.  (+ info)

Can renal cell carcinoma spread to the skin?

---

My husband has had kidney cancer since 2008. It has spread to the plueral lining and to some lymph nodes. He now has an open sore that will not heal. I am wondering if it is possible for this to be more of the kidney cancer or possibly some other cancer?
Yes kidney cancer can spread to the skin and if it did it would not be skin cancer it would still be kidney cancer. Technically most cancers can spread anywhere and although it doesn’t often happen kidney cancers are known to spread to the skin. It is also possible that it could be skin cancer.  (+ info)

Body massage advised or not when Basal Cell Carcinoma diagnosed?

---

I was advised to check with my doctor if body massage is recommended after being diagnosed with BCC, although I was already treated, and the BCC was eliminated. The doctor said that it is OK to get the massage. Has anyone experienced something similar?
A response will be appreciated.
BCC is a localized cancer and once they are removed there is no risk at all to having a massage. BCC do not spread into the lymph nodes so this is another reason there is no risk in getting a massage. Enjoy your massage.  (+ info)
