thanks for posting this, absolutely. And don't be afraid of what you might find, finding out early keeps your options open. And chances are allot of weird growths aren't cancer yet, but getting rid of them helps prevent them from going cancerous. I have had some stuff taken off my nose as well. Quick recovery to you Jimmy!

In my prayers Jimmy, quick recovery...
Thank you for the post and information, we all have to watch out for that stuff

I had one of those removed. The funny thing was that I had asked lots of docs about it over a long time period before a specialist diagnosed it from 10 feet away. All the others said it was probably nothing lol. The good news is that it is only very rarely a serious problem. The other good thing is that fishing is good after the surgery.

Notice the dark spot next to my nose?

I had a bump on the bridge of my nose, right where it meets the eye. Had it for years, thought it was from my eyeglasses. Turns out it was Basal Cell, luckily. Had it cut out and and had several spots on the top of my head (yes, I'm bald), arms and even legs frozen off.

I lucked out, if it had been the bad kind I wouldn't be writing this because I waited so long to have it checked out. I would recommend everyone to bring it up with their doctors, just to be sure.
