Sorry about your father…cancer took my father also, my sister a double mastectomy, my brother in law is fighting lung and bone cancer…and yet, fewer people are dying of cancer now..there is not one person that this disease has not touched… amazing that we cannot find a cure with all the money collected and used for research…I also have had other cancer’s, but was just lucky…. I am soo unset when I see a young person with a cigarette in his mouth or hand..they want to look older and if they only knew that getting older is not an option for them..love to all that have lost someone close to cancer… if we can’t afford money for research, we can preach and scold and be a testimony to those that are careless.
Cancer took my dad last year. It took four of his siblings. I have had one small skin cancer removed, so I keep a very close eye on strange looking little moles etc.
Oh Starshine! I’m so glad it was found now and taken care of, even if the physical results are not as lovely as you hoped for. At least you still have a nose, right?! And Ms. Piggy is cute. I’m glad YOU are okay.
Well, I have to add that one week ago I had skin cancer surgery…now that doesn’t sound so bad,,not life threatening..however, it was on my nose tip and they found a melanoma behind that…so, as a result, all the skin area was taken off one side of my nose and a flap of skin was put there to replace the part taken off…I wore a face bandage for 4 days
(To bad it were not closer to Halloween, I would have been all set)and just got my stitches taken out yesterday. I now look like Ms. Piggy or maybe the silent version of Phatom of the Opera, you know, when he turns around for the first time. lol…maybe not a laughing matter, but crying will not bring back my lovely face. the Dr. says that in time my nose will drop again. Until then, I do not know the lady starring back at me in the mirror… but, I do have my life… do I want to stand up for Cancer…you bet.. don’t forget to wear your sunscreen and hats when in the sun. We don’t need anymore Mr. and Ms. Piggy’s.
