Can we come to your house for dinner?
Late good morning to everyone. We spent the day at the dermatologists today where they removed a cancerous lesion from my husband's face. It isn't his first time at the rodeo. But unfortunately each time he goes, it means four or five biopsies and then trips back for MOHS surgeries, chemical burns, excisions and then he gets to do it over again every three months.
We were the generation where we went outside to play when we got home from school no matter how hot or how cold it was outside. We spent hours at the local swimming pool or beach and didn't think anything of getting a blistering sun burn.
PLEASE! Remember your sunscreen. It isn't too late to protect your skin and it definitely isn't too late to protect the grandkids, nieces and nephews, either! Stay inside during peak sun hours and make sure that you 'know' your own skin and keep track of anything that looks even a little suspicious.
DH did fine. They actually let me watch which was interesting to see how a MOHS is done from start to finish. The doctor was able to get a clear report after the initial excision so he is stitched up and taking it easy for a few days. Until next week when he goes in for round 2......
Oh that's miserable, I'm sorry!
My dad has to do that a lot on his head, arms & ears. Some of those spots have gone really deep & he tells us its super painful. We never did sunscreen as kids either. It was just a known part of every summer that you'd burn to a crisp, twice, blister & peel before your skin started to toughen up to the blazing California sun. As an adult I keep my kids coated in sunblock most of the year. They also wear rashguards & boardshorts instead of bikinis when anywhere near water. On normal days we use hats, parasols & thin long sleeve shirts. My DH is another story... I swear he worships the Sun God & is out in the yard all year long trying to get/stay as tan as possible. He knows the trouble my dad has, but he still does it. 
I hope your DH has a quick recovery!!!
