Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome

 

This is what Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome looks like.  A fresh bandage covering a spot that's been removed for biopsy and a noticeable scar on the chin from a Mohs Surgery done a few years ago.  I also had a spot removed on my back today, as well.   The dermatologist doesn't want to do surgery at this point unless there is regrowth.  

Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome.   A genetic mutative disorder that causes these cancers to become frequent.   I lost count in how many spots have already been cut off.  

It makes me sad and puts me in a low mood, to be honest.  But at the same time, I feel grateful.   It's annoying but I'd rather deal with something annoying than one of those cancers that are fatal.  I won't die from this.  I just might end up looking like Freddy Cruger eventually.  

Remember the sunscreen, kids!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead.  I'll be sitting here smuggled up on the couch with an ice pack on my face.  The doctor didn't say anything about applying ice but if I don't it will swell.
