I have a vitamin A cream prescribed for daily use as this may help build up the collagen a bit. However, apart from having to go out with stitched up bloody scabs on my face for a week or two, wearing my scarf like a burqua, and having to listen to EaZyD’s tacky jokes about small ‘jugs’, all seems to be well.

As EaZyD said, they must just be so used to saying it... kind of forgetting that you are not used to hearing it. As ever, we pick ourselves up and, scare over, Skin Cancer Girl lives on, which is the usual happy ending for this type of cancer, I believe.

Long-term use of steroids is bad for your health, in so many ways.

Yet, may save your life at the same time. Difficult decisions. Limited options.

No choice.
