Has anyone had skin cancer or know anyone?

how long did they have it before removed, and was all ok after

The most types are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) which may be locally disfiguring but unlikely to spread to other parts of the body. The most dangerous type is malignant melanoma, which can be fatal if not treated early, but forms only a small proportion of all skin cancers. Other types of skin cancer are:
* Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
* Merkel cell carcinoma
* Kaposi's sarcoma

my grandfather found out he had a little bit of skin cancer on his heel and got it removed a a few days later. he is fine and the doctor said if you have skin cancer remove it quick. so he did.
I was dignosed with melanoma cancer two months ago. It appears I caught it early and did not attach to any other parts of the inner body. Until he has the test done, no one can give you an answer. Hopefully, (doesn't sound right) it is just skin cancer, just cut it out and and forget it. Gangadha, gave you the best answer possible. Follow his lead.
I used emu oil on my skin cancer and over a period of one month it changed color, dried up and I just washed it off. No doctor was required for removal. I was waiting for the doctor and the period that I was to wait was one month, but as it turned out I didnot need him.
My wife and it was just a few small spots. She is ok now. What she didn't do and I suggested was my choice of treatments. - Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since 鈥?more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider
