Even regular skin cancer can cause death, and in most case disfigurement.

Good luck to you. My brother died of regular skin cancer last year.

He was a red head and always spent a lot of time out in the sun when he was young. He got lots of sunburns.

His children were raised differently. They were not in the sun like he was. I do the same with my children. Not in the sun during peak hours, and always wear lots of sunscreen.

Forgot to mention that my brother was only 48 when he died. Way too young.

Skin cancer is a hideous beast, no matter what the type. So sorry to hear about your brother. Every day I see stories from people who have lost a loved one too soon. Then I see young people PAYING to intentionally expose themselves to the very thing that will potentially lead to the same consequences for some of them.
