JM, I also had a small basal cell cancer removed from my nose this year. It's strange, I was diagnosed with cancer for the first time in my life this year... twice! I'm sure glad 2008 is over, it really sucked! I'm hoping that 2009 is better and the doctors at MD Anderson Hospital find that silver bullet that kicks my wifes cancer back to hell where it came from.
If people understood how hideous cancer can be, on so many levels, they'd better understand my plea to do everything they can to first not get it (ie: take care of yourself)and second, if they do get it, to seak treatment as soon as they can. Your friend is absolutely right "Take care of it, before it takes care of you."
