Back today for stitches to be removed. Arm feels good and just the usual ache from the pull of the stitches needing to come out.

Doctor had the results for the other biopsy he took from a suspicious one on the arm and to no one’s amazements it is another SCC. Doctor doesn’t want to take it out today even though it is a fast growing one as it may impact on the one that is getting it’s stitches out. He decides to freeze it in the hope of slowing it down until he can remove it. The SCC on the left ankle will be removed.

Onto the photos

Right arm prior to stitches being removed. Other SCC can be seen at bottom of photo.
Left shin with SCC in the middle of photo. Other stuff is just from knocking the leg around.
Right arm some 12 hours hater. Steri strips in place and this also shows the results of freezing the other SCC, it is building into a nice blister.

Had 3 biopsies 2 weeks ago, left shin, right calf and right forearm. The right forearm has grown a bit since then and pretty sure it is a squamous skin cancer (SCC from here on in). So the results were, left shin SCC, right calf not a skin cancer, right forearm a SCC. Doctor decided to cut the one on the right arm out due to the size of it and leave the one on left shin till my dermatitis on the site had cleared.

So here are some photos of the arm.

This is how big it was.
The cut with 14 external stitches and quite a few internal stitches

He also took a biopsy of another suspicious growth just above this site.

Back in 2 weeks for stitches to be removed and the one on the left shin removed.
