"I've never heard of "face cancer!"

One can get cancer in any part of the body, I beleive. Cancer just means abnormally reproducing cells; this is part of why it isn't cured, it's not really a disease, it's more of an umbrella term for similar ailments, I think, I could be wrong about this.

I remember distinctly, years ago, reading an article in the Sunday NY Times magazine written by a woman who had had cancer in of the nose. She recovered, more or less, as I recall. I always remember one piece of advice she gave her readers (I paraphrase from old memory): if you have a serious, dire, disease make sure you get a good looking doctor. For one thing it's encouraging; for another, you're going to be seeing a lot of him.
