Update on skin cancer
Today I had 65 stitches removed from my scalp by the plastic surgeon who had to rebuild the damage done when the carcinoma was cut out. My cancer turned out to be a Merkel Cell type, much more aggressive than "normal" skin cancer.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I have had some non aggressive skin cancers removed from my back and flank years ago. I don’t wear short sleeves or shorts anymore plus I always have a hat on and face covering while on in the boat. Best of luck and prayers for a complete recovery!

Good posts, guys. I rescheduled awhile back because of Covid, but my yearly checkup isn’t too far away. Yea, cancer is an equal opportunity enemy. Wear a hat and all the other items you have to protect yourself!

I remember the good old days fishing in the 70's wearing bib overalls and no shirt but always wore a hat. Lot's of burning and peeling back then. We do pay the price as we get older. I found out yesterday that I have a small basal cell on my right arm which will be removed in a couple weeks. These can show up anywhere even if area is covered. Anything that doesn't look normal should be checked, it never hurts to ask and get it checked out.
