Tara Blogs On Early Cancer Detection

"Second, when I was younger, I was a sun worshipper. WORSHIPPER. I grew up in the desert of Southern California, and I would lay out for hours on end. Even recently, I would tan indoors, because I think it makes me look leaner on TV. Well, that has all caught up to me. I went to the dermatologist because I had a bump on my hip. It turned out to be nothing. But the doctor noticed a mole near my collar bone that didn't look quite right. He cut it off and tested it, and it turned out to be Basal Cell Carcinoma. That is the most common form of skin cancer. He cut most of it off, and next week, they are going to cut out the surrounding tissue and I should be 100% It's it super minor, because they caught it early. So that some of my MySpace friends can possibly catch it early also, here is a link on what to look for... http://www.wikihow.com/Check-for-Skin-Cancer. Also, always wear sun block for extended periods outdoors."

Additionally, Tara mentioned on her Twitter that she was taken to the ER last night in New Jersey. Mick Foley Tweeted that she had a "Nasty looking elbow".
