Protect that skin

I started the day yesterday going to the cities with my hubby, to see the dermatologist about a cyst on the back of his neck. The family have all been on him about having it looked at, and he finally showed it to his doctor. The day dawned with mist, and then a steady rain, as we circled the area, trying to find the place. As usual, we get there early. I watch him pace back and forth, and wonder what he's thinking about. I have enough time to say the rosary before his name is called. We are introduced to a first year resident doctor, who checks out the cyst, and looks at all the many freckles, and spots he has over his back, and chest. Of course, she lectures him on the use of sun screen, which he never uses, and how this would have lessened all those spots, and proceeds to tell him what she is planning to do about the cyst. They numbed the area with lidocaine, and sliced off the cyst for a biopsy, then covered the site with a band-aid. The big honcho Doctor, concurred with her, and thinks it's a basal cell type skin cancer, which is the least worrisome of the skin cancer types, and will let us know the results within the week. Then he'll have to come back and have it completely incised, to get all the roots. I'm relieved he finally had it looked at, and it is a easy one to cure. I thank Mary for her intercessions to God, our Father, for all His blessings to us. Reminder to all....use that sun screen religiously, as other types of skin cancer can by oh so much worse, and be the death of you.
