Skin Cancer Selfies: Multiple Days!
I have not forgotten about the skin cancer selfies. The skin cancer selflies are BACK. I know what you are thinking. That I forgot all about posting. I forgot all about the fact that I have the unfortunate luck of having skin cancer be a part of my life. I forgot all about taking the selfies each day. Nope, nope, and nope. I've still been documenting with a selfie every day. Just needed a View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 10
This day's skin cancer selfie brings about another one week milestone. One week ago today I was able to remove this glorious bandaging: Wasn't it lovely? I had my husband remove it and remember asking him what it looked like. I didnt dare look in the mirror first. I was so nervous. So very nervous. Was it going to look horrible? Was it going to be everything that I imagined? When I View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 9
On this day of the skin cancer selfie it has been one week since the repair. I think for a week things are looking so much better. Don't you think? Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 9 My eye is a a little red today and I'm not really sure what that's about. Probaby just tired. Yes, it's pretty good I think. Healing nicely and definitely looking less noticeable. Yesterday the little miss had a View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 8
I know that I sounded so very elated in yesterday's skin cancer selfie. I truly was. The post-op appointment was everything that I could have hoped for. The surgeon was happy with the it's healing. But here I sit back at home and the worries of before start to seep back in. I'm analyzing the entire appointment. Was the surgeon happy with the way it looked or did he simply mean that the wound View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 6
On this day's skin cancer selfie I'm still looking a little yellow. Very similar to Day 5 actually. So definitely less on the black and blue now. I'm still feeling a little yellow too. It was back to work for me and a Monday so that's kind of a yellow kinda day anyway. Right? So here I am just trying to get back into my life and my current new look. Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 6 I did leave View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 5 Feeling Yellow
I'm feeling yellow on this Day 5 skin care selfie. Day 5. I can't believe I'm already here and yet still not ready to face the world. Believe me when I say that it's so much easier to share my new look from behind the computer. I didn't go to church today. Just not ready to brave the crowds without makeup. Makeup allows a woman to hide. I'll use it to eventually cover the scarring but for View Post
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 4
I decided to come back today with another skin cancer selfie. I know I said that I would but believe me when I say that it's hard to do. I didn't realize that it would be this difficult. To not only see what I look like in this moment but to show others at the same time. My goal is to prevent someone else from making my mistakes. I thought it was okay to be tan. I thought it was healthy. I View Post
Skin Cancer Selfies: Day 1, 2, & 3
My skin cancer selfies could be a lot worse. I know that. At the same time it could be not at all. If I hadn't spent all those years tanning. If I hadn't neglected the use of sunscreen. If I hadn't… But I did. Now I'm left with all the repercussions and the fact that there will be more. Sure that one spot of basal cell carcinoma has been fully removed. I'll just heal up and have to live View Post
