Hello
I'm feeling a bit lost after joining here yesterday. I am currently recovering from a second hand surgery for diagnosed Squamous cell carcinoma. This surgery was more tricky and complicated than the first. Surgeon thinks he managed to remove all the tumour this time but can't be certain until get results back and confirm clear margins. Anxiously waiting for those results. I never expected this so soon after first surgery which was 8 months ago. Has anybody else had experience of this and it returning soon after first surgery? It feels and seems i'm in the minority with this involving my hand. As this is my dominant hand, it is a worry. I'm hoping for the best outcome.
