Same here. I've been introduced to both of those nasty Noma brothers, Mel and Carson. Had a squishy thing show up on the back of my neck and didn't go away for two weeks. Wife said see the Doc. Family Doc said he wasn't sure what it was but carved it off and took a sample. Turned out to be what they later called a "six-month" melanoma - the kind where if you ignore it, you're dead in six months. Had the Mohs treatment on it, but the family Doc had gotten it all.
Started getting Full Monty checkups every six months from a lovely young lady Doc. Odd experience the first time, getting poked ALL over. Later she found a carcinoma on the top of my left ear, but it's been two years now all clean so I'm down to annual checkups.
So now I have a Z for Zorro scar on the back of my neck, and my left ear is always a bit tender. But I'm still here.
