Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Post by T »

Last year this started as dry skin on the top of my ear dx pre cancer.(biopsy negative for cancer)
My PA froze it 2x last year I thought I was good to go.
During the winter it started again (dry skin).This spring it started growing larger than before.
I saw my PA on Fri.and it had progressed so another biopsy and was told if it came back positive I would have to go to
the city to have it removed and not to lose any sleep over it.(am certain it will be positive)
Has anybody had any experience with this? He took A big enough biopsy this time I swore he cut the whole thing out.

I had one on the top of my foot. It started out clear and hard and grew tall. Dermatologist cut it out at his office (another doctor wanted to do it in the hospital!). It seemed like the hole would never close but it finally did.

Best wishes to you.

Did they prescribe antibiotics? That's my fear.

I went to the city this week to have the skin cancer removed everything went well and I packed my safe foods (again)
Now I have this big trench to care for every day until it is healed ( 4-5weeks)
I increased my D3 A few weeks prior hoping it will help.

Terry,

More D3 is definitely a good idea because it will help to keep your immune system in top working order in case it needs to fight an infection.

I hope the healing goes smoothly.

Thanks for your reply.
After the cancer removal I decided to double the dose of my B complex (liquid form) most of it is 100% DV healing is going very well.
On the evening of July 4 my dermatologist called me to see how I was doing( I was very surprised) I talked to him for A couple of
minutes and he told me if I had any problems at all and his office was closed to call him at home or his cell.
Just to think most people here have A hard time getting A returned call from their GI during office hours.
He is 1hr 20 min drive for me but now I decided it was well worth it

Terry,

You definitely have found a doctor who provides first class service. Kudos to him. And good for you for finding him.
