Hi

I have a basal cell cancer on side of nose which should have been removed last week by local anaesthetic.

However I had a big panic attack in theatre and it couldn't be done.

I'm now waiting to have it done under sedation.

I'm really terrified of having this removed even under sedation. Has anyone else had skin cancer removed under sedation?

How do I calm my anxiety?

  • I think it is because you are doing it on your phone check it out and it tells you how to do it on yourt phone 

  • Thank You.

    I have problems getting on all the time.

    I think it's because I'm on a phone.

    Thank You for your reply and friend request.

    If I can't accept it because I'm using the phone it'd be great to keep in touch here.

    My slow mohs surgery on my nose is June 15t so I'm really getting nervous again.

    It seems out of proportion to what it actually is 

  • I was also misdiagnosed two years ago and told it was nothing to worry about which  isn't helping me have confidence.

    However the surgeon seems lovely and has been very patient.

    I'm just terrified of the surgery
