Hi there just joined this forum. I was diagnosed with a BCC in my ear. It was removed 5 weeks ago after over a year on the waiting list and I’m waiting to hear if it’s all been removed. My concern is there is swelling in the ear causing partial block of the canal and makes my hearing muffled. Has anyone else had this procedure or any concerns like this.
Hi Windywoo
I've had BCCs removed, but not from my ear, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
Have you spoken to your hospital team about the swelling in your ear in case you have an infection?
I hope you don't have too much longer to wait for your results.

Thanks for your response. I’ve actually managed to get an appt for tomorrow so I’m lucky enough to get an eyes on opinion
