Hi Hallie. My name is Kelly and I have had several BCCs but I'm only in my 30s. (First was in my early 20s.) Interested?

Hi,  I've just been diagnosed with basal cell on my nose.  I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.  Debby

Hi there, 

I am 34 years old and have BCC on my nose.  After 2 surgeries and 3 biopsies it is back again.  My plastic surgeon keeps taking it away, the borders are clear and then a few months later another spot.  How are you being treated?

Thank you,

Ann Marie

I wish I had seen your post earlier as I am 45 and have had two basal cell's removed one above my eyebrow and one on my shoulder.  I am now getting ready to use Efudex on my arms and legs due to AK's which can turn into Squamous Cell.  If you do a followup let me know I will be happy to participate.

Hi Hallie,

The reason I am responding to your cancer inquiry is because I have been unable to locate your email address any other way.

I am writing because I am a big fan of your health-related articles. I'm reading an article of yours on Kids' Health in Parenting Magazine, and I thought I would reach out to see if you have any interest in writing about financial planning for a child/family member with disabilities.

Many parents set up trust funds for their disabled child thinking the child will be provided for when they're gone - unfortunately, the wrong type of trust fund will disqualify a child from receiveing Medicaid, or will be used to pay back government aid.

There is a huge audience for this topic - more than 12 million American children suffer some form of disabilities; parents need to know how to provide for these children for the rest of their lives.

I have information, statistics, and specialists you could speak with if you're interested in doing a piece. My email address is

I just turned 50 and had a Mohs procedure done last week for basal cell on my right temple.

This is in response to the journalist looking for women with basal cell carcinoma.  I'm 49, with my second basal cell.  I had one removed about 15 years ago under my eye and now have one on the tip of my nose.  I will be having Mohs surgery on June 6th.  I also have a clotting disorder and am taking coumadin for the rest of my life.  I'm a bit concerned about surgery while on blood thinner.  I'm interested in participating in the article.  Am I to late?
