Melanoma is the most dangerous skin cancer, and the one that doctors most want to find...
Cases of skin cancer in Illinois are rising, but screening can catch problems early while easily treatable.Q: I am a 78-year-old woman who, in my early years, was exposed to many sunny days at the beach. Sunscreen was still a relatively new product in 1954 and not formulated to the standards required to prevent skin cancers the way today’s strong sunscreens are. In those early years, sunblock was not widely used by the public, or me.
Skin cancer screening is mostly done by sight, not by feel, but I did have a dermatology professor tell me to gently palpate the scalp, as it can be hard to see the whole scalp, and he said he had found cancers there by using feel. Q: I’m 72, and I have had arthritis for three years: two years in both knees, one year in my right hip and the base of my spine. I am 5’3” and weigh 221 pounds, with a body mass index of 39. I lost 23 pounds from January to June.
I can understand why you would want to see a different surgeon, as it sounds like you were not treated well. However, the surgeon was right that surgical outcomes are better if a person can lose at least 20 pounds, according to a 2019 study. This included shorter lengths of stay in the hospital and a lesser chance of needing surgical revision.
