Nat’s 3 month skin cancer follow up

In mid August I wrote about getting a mole removed. This week I had my 3 month follow-up after the biopsy and cryotherapy in August.

I was delighted that the appointment was a non-event. The doctor took a look at the site and confirmed it looked good.

Yay!

Next steps, keep wearing hats and sunscreen.

It occurred to me that I found the mole doing something women are chastised for, gazing at myself in a magnified mirror. Women are told not to be vain or spend time looking at ourselves too closely but that behaviour was the one that helped me identify the poorly behaving mole.

I’m in Canada and I’m very thankful I had no out of pocket expenses for these three doctor visits. I received great care and I’m passionately pro public (aka single payer) healthcare. It’s saved my life several times.
