Update on facial skin cancer surgery
Well, we’ve been to Merimbula and come back, and it was very good. I’ll blog on this again soon, but first - an update!
In second-last topic before this I showed pictures of my wife Glenyce’s adventures with surgery to remove a couple of skin cancers on her cheeks. One picture showed a wound with 20 stitches in it after a basal cell carcinoma was removed from her upper left cheek. While we were away in the caravan I was dressing the wound daily, and since we came back she’s had the stitches removed. The results are shown in the following picture:-
Now, Glenyce is pretty sensitive to the way she looks and is somewhat mortified that she’ll have this scar and the other one on her right cheek to contend with in her self-image in coming months and years. But it is part of life for many of us who have had skin damage from sun exposure in earlier years. I assure her that these will fade with time, and, anyway, cosmetics will work wonders.
What’s more, I still love her just as she is!
