I read with sympathy White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson’s article on his battle with skin cancer.

I recently had a mole removed from my arm, which appeared to be increasing in size. It was melanoma too and was removed. Biopsy showed no cancer remaining.

The article did not mention in treatment options that once you have had skin cancer, you should cover up when in the sun and use SPF 45-or-up sunscreen. The earlobes are an area often missed.
