My mother had skin cancer taken off of her
leg about 4 months ago. She is now having
a reoccurance of skin cancer on other
parts of her body. Is reoccurance common
and how can you stop it or can you.
Currently, she goes in and gets them
removed. has anyone else experienced this
and how can you keep your sanity.

I`m going through much the same as your
mum .
I had a bcc removed from the end of my
nose in April the size of a ten cent
piece( Australian ) but within three
months more had appearred around the same
area .The plastic surgeon who operated
told me that it was a particular nasty one
and that he will check me every six months
but now i have just gone through more
surgery to remove three more one very
large on the inside of my nose .They can`t
be prevented now as the damage was done
when i was a child ,however i can prevent
more damage by covering up and using a
good sun screen .The surgeon will keep a
good eye on me as he knows what to look
for ( in the first place i was being
treated by a local dr for two years .until
i said no more i was too worried .
Have a good specialist you are comfortable
with and let them check you at regular
intervals .
All the best with your mum and please
cover your self up so you don`t go through
the same thing ...as it is preventable .
