I have just had a few spots diagnosed as skin cancer and have had a some of them removed and more send off for biopsy. Can anyone tell me what might occur if not all the cancerous cells are removed? I know I can speak to my doctor, but thought someone might have first hand knowledge.

You have had a biopsy, this will show if there is a malignancy, please make sure if there is a malignancy that you insist on a "marker test" This test can be the difference between life and death. My friend's son has stage four melanoma, the skin cancer was removed when first diagnosed years ago, but there was no "marker test" done. If you're not happy with the first opinion you get, please get a second opinion. To be a young man with a beautiful wife and a couple of great kids, and to be terminally ill, is tragic. Cancerous cells can be treated in the early stages and are highly curable from what I have read on internet sites that relate to melanoma, so your best course of action at this stage is awareness, as it is better to be safe than sorry. If there are cancerous cells they can be easily treated in the early stages and are highly curable, so try not to worry too much! I wouldn't be alarmed at this early stage! Best wishes!
