My trip to the dermatologist~

I returned for my 6 week check up with the dermatologist regarding my cancerous mole. They removed it 6 weeks ago from my right shoulder and told me it was basal cell carcinoma. Today he said the final pathology report said it was actually squamous cell. Squamous cell carcinoma is more aggressive, more likely to spread and more likely to reoccur than basal cell. The good news is that I had clear margins! But, now I have to go back to be checked every 6 months for the rest of my life. LOL
