I have to see a plastic surgeon right after surgery. one of the other places is on my nose . What can i say .. Im scared.
Hi , welcome to the online community, I’m sorry to hear that your terrified and scared, it’s not easy coming to terms with what we have to go through sometimes. My cancer’s a bit different (metastatic melanoma no primary) so I’m going to direct you to the group that I think will give you the best help, just click on the link I’ve just put in. There are several discussions on BCC at the moment that you might want to join in with or copy and paste your above post into a new discussion there.
