Always wear sunscreen

I have had this cut, lesion or what have you on on my left cheek for months.  I really thought nothing of it except that it would not heal and I normally heal cuts pretty darn quick.  So I finally got it looked at earlier this week.  A lovely biopsy, or however you spell that.  A core was taken, blood was spilt, an electro-cauterizer was involved.  Damn I love the smell of burning flesh in the afternoon.  It smells like...cancer.  Yep, that's right.  Its skin cancer, I found out today.

As you probably do not know I am a redhead.  I have the typical red head pale skin and light sensetivity.  I usually always wear sunscreen.  I had it engrained in me since I was very young that I have to grease up.  I one of those people that really needs that SPF 50.  Fortunately, they tell me that it can be removed and shouldn't be a huge deal.  But what does this mean for me down the road?  Does it mean that I am that much more likely to get it again?  I do not know that yet.

Anyhow, like the title suggest, wear sunscreen boys and girls.  Perhaps you can avoid what I get to deal with here soon.
