Had aggressive bcc removed from under my eye/cheek. It had spread to my nerves, it was decided radiotherapy was to close to my eye so they cut the nerves. Wasn’t all removed on first attempt, so went back in to surgery again. Left without scar management, no confidence and anxiety.
I’m in surgery again next week for a large bcc on my chin, and I’ve been warned it won’t be a ‘pretty scar’ (his words!) I’m so frightened- and worried it will be like the last one and be spreading quickly and I’ll end up going back in again for yet more surgery.
Im doing this on my own unfortunately, so any support or advice would be really appreciated

Dear DougMama
I’m sorry to hear this. It must be very hard going through it alone. I haven’t experienced the same as you (currently recovering from scalp op and skin graft - another few weeks to wait until I get my results so I am trying to keep upbeat).
I sometimes think that the ways things are communicated to us (particularly at times of high stress) could be better. The NHS is very stretched and we don’t always get given the time or the support needed.
I wanted to reply to wish you well and I hope that things go as positively as possible. I also wondered if there might be someone at the hospital who could provide you with some support, maybe a specialist nurse or volunteer. Take care
