Question skin cancer and other cancers

Hello Everyone,

My husband has had Basal Cell (twice) and Squamous Cell (once). He had Mohs Surgery for all 3. My question is: Since his cells have been damaged by cancerous cells, what is the likelyhood of him developing another form of cancer (i.e. lung cancer)?

He has been cancer-free for 1 1/2 years. We both know the chances of him developing skin cancer at another site are pretty high.

Thank you for any information given.

Sincerely,
mrsgkr

I'll ask the doc.
Thanks

Just curious to see if you ever asked your doctor about the risk of having other cancers develop? I've had BC Carcinoma and have wondered the same thing...

I have asked my doctors and my family`s doctors and the unanimous reply seems to be the same: noone knows for sure, and most likely, because of the fact that there are cancer cells in his body, there is a chance that the cancer he used to have will return (depending on what he does to prevent it`s return). Also, if his cancer was a metastatic type, a cell or microcopic tumor can lodge somewhere in the body and begin growing there. there is a difference between "lung cancer" and a "metastisist", actual lung cancer where part of the lung tissue becomes cancerous is much harder to beat than a cancer that attaches to a part of the lung or anywhere else and keeps growing itself making a clump or tumor, this metastising cancer is easily removed as long as it hasnt gone long undetected.
Also Most cancers will show an immune system response under the microscope so if his cancer wasn`t to severe he may never have trouble with it again.
