Skin cancer

In the short time since we have lived here, I found a small spot on my nose, It looked like a zit coming up so I left it for a few days, nothing happended, It stayed the same only got bigger, it didn't hurt or itch. After a week I went to see the doc. He seemed quite worried so said I should come back the next week, which I did. He took me to the next room straight away and removed the spot. It was fairly traumatic for me. the anisthetic to the nose is no fun. Then when he was finished and trying to stitch it up, he broke the thread 2 times. It was all so traumatic that I had to sit and wait 15 mins before I could walk out to the car and another 10 mins before I stopped shaking too much to drive.
When I came back the next week for my follow up appt. The doc told me it was a skin cancer, but he had missed a bit. I was supposed to go back a couple of weeks later to get that checked but haven't had the nerve to do that yet. I guess I will have to see to that real soon.

This has been the second one I have had.
