My Girlfriend had Basil cell carcinoma (sorry spelling) on her eye lid 9 years. She could not get insurance unless she became homeless and paid for Obama no-care. She finally got it removed by a doctor in Miami. Afterwords, it spread like wildfire. She got like a months notice when it hit her lungs and liver and then died last sept. I think she would still be alive if she had never had it removed from her eye lid in the first place. The government was still fighting against her disability up till the day she died.

Very sorry to hear that. I lost a chunk of nose to basal cell carcinoma about 17 years ago; no further problem.

A neighbor recently found out he has a weird squamous cell carcinoma that started in the neck and has spread a bit. The main problem is that the cancerous mass has grown fairly big and if left alone would eventually choke him. The cure is a combination of simultaneous chemo and radiation. The docs promise that he'll be sick but cured. And it's an unusual case.

My dermatologist in Vero encourages people to come in, insurance or not.
