Most people think that they are invincible…until they’re not. My family doctor had mentioned over a few visits that I should look into some moles that I had on my skin. I insisted that I always had them, and they always looked that way so there was nothing strange there.

“Next time” finally came, and after having my skin looked at, I had two areas casually biopsied. I thought nothing of it, because I don’t go outside in the sun often, and I don’t tan; so I had nothing to worry about, right? “Right?” I got a call a week later that my biopsies came back irregular, and the word “pre-cancerous” was used. “Pre-cancerous?”
