Here we go again - 3rd facial skin cancer diagnosed in under 3 years.
1 bcc, 1 scc with skin graft, and the latest tbxc. So more surgery due next week.
Each diagnostic route different.
Ugh dreading it and the aftermath based on previous traumatic experience.
Hi Abcded52316
I'm sorry to read that you're about to have surgery for a third skin cancer. I know how dispiriting it can be to have repeated excisions but hopefully you won't find this one as traumatic as your previous.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnoses and treatments into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Wishing you all the best for next week.
