Week 44: This is Me
This week I found it harder than usual to step in front of the camera.
Earlier this summer I was diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma... on my NOSE! And another much smaller pre-cancerous spot on the base of my neck. I had them removed 8 weeks ago today.
They say Basal Cell is the "best kind" of cancer to get. If you ask me, cancer is cancer. I will be visibly scarred for the rest of my life, despite not having to go through any chemo or radiation.
I am eternally grateful that the diagnosis wasn't worse.
Today, despite my best efforts, I'm still feeling vain. I'm not ready to embrace the scar... yet.
So this weeks theme will also serve as a public service announcement. Get your spots checked. It could save your life. And of course, my mantra these days is wear sunscreen!
