Non-melanoma types of skin cancer are very curable. The link below will give you some numbers to view. Even when you include the basal and squamous cells that have been ignored and allowed to grow the cure rate is around 70%+ after proper treatment. Melanoma cure rate depends on size and depth of lesion and luck. Senator John McCain has had two bouts with melanoma and he seems to be doing ok.

It depends which kind: you can have basil cell which is very curable, they just remove it, no other treatment needed, if you have melanoma, it is more serious. If taken early it can be very curable, but it is a more invasive type of cancer and it can travel.

As noted by the others above, it is usually highly curable. If you are in the small percentage that can't be cured, you may move your cure rate up to 100% by reading "How to cure cancer with ginger" at http://geocities.com/cure.cancer/ .

in my opinion it depends on what kind of cancer it is and what stage you are in. I hope you dont have it. Good luck to you if you do. Take care.
