Skin Cancer Nose No Boundaries: Part II
This is an update to my article titled “Skin Cancer Nose No Boundaries” that I posted on the 28th January, 2009. It entails the diagnosis of two basal cell carcinomas on my nose, subsequent treatments and then finally, Mohs Surgery.
To bring you up to speed, on the 12 January 2009 I had a bilobed flap repair to my nose immediately after the removal of a recurrent nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma.
After a number of requests to show how my nose looks after ten months of healing, I now present you with my new nose with a before and after view.

Peter, your nose looks GREAT! They did a wonderful job on it. Glad to see it turned out so well. :)
Hi Moonshadow! As I said in an earlier comment in my previous nose cancer post, if I used makeup, you might not even see the defect!
Yes, my doctor did a wonderful job and I will be forever thankful.
How's things with you? Hoping you are well!
Take Care,
Peter

Hi Rlbates and a big welcome to you. I've come across blogcarnival before but never submitted anything as I didn't think any of my posts would be good enough. But I did as you suggested and gave it a go. Thank you heaps!
Take Care,

Hey Peter you look probably 30 years younger with this nose, just like brand new. Glad that everything worked out for you in this matter.
Thanks for the update.
Anna :)
PS boy I was behind, lol
Hi Anna! Before I start on this reply, thanks heaps for all your comments. You really are a trooper and an inspiration.
Yes, my poor old nose. It's not out of the woods yet, with many more battles yet to come. I hope not, though!
Take Care,
Peter
Peter, your nose looks great!!! WOOT for the great skill in bringing the nose back to normal.
My niece just had skin cancer. It sure can hit at any age.

Hi JJ! It's not bad for an old noose, although I liked it the way it was before it was cut down in its prime!
Take Care,
Peter
Hey Peter,
Wow!
It looks great!! You have a beautiful nose, mate!
I love modern medicine :D!
Cheers
Hi Max and thank you! I thought of trading my nose in for a new one at the time but the "no's" won on a majority vote!
Take Care,
Peter
Peter,
LOL trading your nose? Thank God the no's won - it would've ruined God's original work :)...
Cheerio
