Good afternoon all.
Hope everybody is keeping well.
Firstly i got diagnosed with stage 3b Melanoma in October 2024.
I also had like a funny scab on the side of my forehead and after a long time i was told it was a BCC, which i wasn't too worried about.
On November the 7th i had the BCC removed and yesterday i got a follow up call.
I thought the follow up call was just to see how things were looking with my scar etc.
The nurse said to me that the BCC had been fully removed, but there is a possibility i could have nerve invasion, i had no idea what she meant.
After asking her what it actually meant i thought bloody hell it does not sound good at all.
Now i will not find out until after Christmas what the outcome will be, i wish she would have called after Christmas, as this has now ruined my Christmas as it is on my mind constantly after reading up on the prognosis of nerve invasion.
She did ask if i could lift my left eyebrow which was no problem, no idea if this made any difference at all.
Nerve invasion sounds very scary :-(
Sorry, just had to get this out there.
Thank you.
Simon
