I'm 78. Been there, done that, and am still doing it.
I grew up with lots of sun exposure fishing the Louisiana marsh shirtless in gym shorts and flip flops.
Starting in my mid-50's I started going to a dermatologist every year. In each visit he freezes a half dozen pre-cancerous spots on my bald scalp using what I call "the spray can of pain".
Two years ago he biopsied a spot he suspected was cancerous. It turned out to be a small basil cell carcinoma. Had it surgically removed with follow up radiation treatment that eliminated the cancer. I now go for the can of pain session every six months.
If you can't laugh at yourself, give me a call. I'll gladly laugh at you. "I keep trying to see Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's point of view, but I can't seem to get my head that far up my [censored]." Senator John Kennedy, Louisiana
