Basil Cell Carcinoma - graphic photos to follow

My lovely favourite doctor - Dr. Karen Sra, Dermatologist, (8/9/2014 post) found a little spot on my leg, my shin.  So we had it tested and discovered a tiny skin cancer.  Next step, cut a huge plug of skin off/out.  The operation was late March.  It's about all filled back in now with skin.  Six weeks and still not quite totally healed.  Imagine a spot the size of your little fingernail and the 'divot' about the size of a Fifty Cent piece cut out deep down to the fat.  (the fat on your shin bone?)

* WARNING:  SOME OF THE PHOTOS 
BELOW ARE VERY GRAPHIC.

I will post these leg photos in reverse order so the 'BAD' ones are way down 
and you can avoid them if you want...   (you were warned
If they start looking to hideous - quit looking!
