hi, my grandad has been diagnosed with skin cancer he is 68, and ive heard that skin cancer is probably the least fatal, but it worries me, a lot, like how many people die of skin cancer, is there a percentage?

I'm sorry your Grandad has skin cancer. His prognosis depends on what type of skin cancer he has. Does he have Basal Cell, Squamous Cell or Melanoma?
Basal Cell is curable, Squamous Cell is a little more difficult to cure because it spreads but very slowly. The most dangerous form of skin cancer is melanoma but even that can be cured if found very early. If it hasn't been found early and has become invasive the prognosis depends on what stage the cancer is at.
