Hi new to this group waiting for a biopsy appointment and not sure how to feel. Its for a possible BCC and I have had it for ages and its in the top curve of my ear so is a difficult place to get at. But I just thought it would be good to join this community as tbh even though they tell you not to worry, how can you not ??
Hi Annica 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 BCCs removed, although not from my ear.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join us over in the skin cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
