I have had so many removed that I can’t remember the number. I am scheduled to have another large one, Monday.

Also a few squamous cell carcinomas and one melanoma. Fortunately the melanoma was in early stage. My Father had about as many as me but no one else in the family has them.

If cancer is the symbiosis between a human cell and a fungal organism, then in stands to reason cancer at any one site, even highly localized, is an indicator of the potential for cancer to occur at other sites simply based upon the prolific nature of fungi. It's a sound hypothesis the article does not touch upon. I would love to see the the hypothesis tested and a theory emerge.

My Dermatologist,a senior member of the staff of one of Boston's major hospitals,has told me each time he's removed a basal cell (or squamous cell) carcinoma that there's *nothing* to worry about.

He's told me that I'm paying the price for 1) having the palest white skin known to science and 2) having been medium rare during the summers of my youth.
