At this point I only need to see a dermatologist cancer specialist and my primary care doctor, no oncologist but regardless you put it well! It did sort of make me feel like it's all my fault. I am fair skinned and had a lot of burns as a child (I don't remember if they simply didn't have sunblock back then or my parents just didn't use it on us).
I'm trying to be open minded though and will try to listen to her. If she can truly help me then it's all worth it.
