[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this case there is a distinction between getting a suspicious or odd-looking mole removed and getting a cancerous mole / skin removed. While your friend didn't undergo chemo (or at least as far as you knew) I'd say he can say he's a cancer survivor. The thing about melanoma is that it can spread fast and you never know if you got it all. Having any amount of melanoma is a very scary thing. [/quote] +1. My MIL recently died after a long period of unwellness following the development of skin cancer which metastisized into her jawbone. The remaining 15yrs of her life were not at all pleasant. Have you seen pictures of Roger Ebert lately? They ended up removing half his face due to aggressive skin cancer. A pre-cancerous mole or basel cell carcinoma, I probably wouldn't consider myself a cancer survivor. Melanoma can be very scary.[/quote]
