Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive skin cancer called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), which required removing a softball-sized chunk of skin from my forehead down to my skull and up toward my hairline. Three plastic surgeries followed it to reduce the amount of visible scar tissue at the cost of permanently disfiguring my right eyebrow.

Two weeks ago, my dermatologist noticed an unusual spot on my forehead where the cancer used to be, which caused her to be concerned enough to do a biopsy. I was afraid that the skin cancer was back.

I'm glad to announce that the results came back today as negative and that I continue to be cancer-free after ten years. Take care of your health and get checked regularly, folks.
