Hi newly diagnosed (31 May) awaiting removal privately hoping not to wait too long as I’ve had this lesion <1 yr it never bothered me then decided to get it checked out by dermatologist. 

I’ve come to the community to see if there’s others out there who have had the same and how they managed their diagnosis, treatment & moving forward! 

thanks. 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I've had a couple of BCCs removed over the years but not from my forehead.

    The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see that you've already posted in the skin cancer group and had replies.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
