I am <b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">thankful</span> </b>my dermatologist was very proactive. She did a biopsy. Results came back a squamous cell skin cancer. I just had my annual exam by her in October. It was not there. Today at 7:15 am I'm have MOHs surgery at Cary Skin Clinic. The area is still quite small (about the size of the end of my index finger) so my hope is the procedure won't take the entire 4 hours of my appointment. I will have a post up on Feline and Nature Friday, March 15 and I hope to give you an update.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My amateur advice is to quickly act on any odd or unusual bump on your body.
