The "C" Word

I got a call from my dermatologist this morning to tell me the the pencil-eraser-sized bump I had removed from my forehead last week is -- as expected -- skin cancer.

Squamous cell carcinoma to be specific. Seems pretty common and is readily curable -- although not without a little cut and some digging in my skin.

So tomorrow afternoon, with little fan-fair, I'm going to have a little cancer surgery. I guess that will make me a cancer survivor, in my own little pencil-eraser sized way.
