This year, the Academy’s campaign is called “See Spot…Check Spot…Save a Life.” It emphasizes the importance of self examination of the skin, as well as having a partner check the parts of your body that are difficult to see, like the back and the scalp. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with over one million new cases detected each year. About one in five Americ...

And it's treatable. But not curable.Tricky stuff -- all this cancer terminology -- and a little hard to fully comprehend.I saw Sheryl Crow talking with Maria Shriver and Dr. Susan Love on Larry's King's CNN program the other night. Crow says her breast cancer was curable -- it was teeny tiny and had not spread and required a lumpectomy and radiation, but not chemotherapy.
