Hi all, new to the group. After seeing a dermatologist for a spot on my nose that won’t go away, he said it needs to be removed as it is cancer. Completely floored, and then advised it could be done the following Wednesday. Still in shock, but felt I needed it gone. Well that was a couple of days ago and now have 5 stitches on my nose, spot gone and waiting for results. My nose is really sore and it has now hit me, feel very sorry for myself and a little panicky. Within the space of 2 weeks been diagnosed and treated. Worried how my nose will look once healed; worried if I should clean my wound or not; but at same time so glad I had it checked. Emotions all over the place
