I had the first biopsy for this in June 2024 and they took a pice off and then it was realised they hadn't taken enough off .     The consultant said I mow need to go for MOHS  at St Thomas  .    My fist appointment should have been January 2025 but that got cancelled  ,  I then had a telephone appointment  on  20 March and have now been sent an dare for it to be removed .    I am really scared that I my loss my nose .     Has anyone else had this done.         

  • Hi BabsE.......    I havnt had a bcc on the rim of my nose. Mine was on the right side...   I was also terrified cried a lot and couldn't sleep...   I found that talking to the surgeon about it all helped...    the best thing you can do is tell the surgeon how afraid you are.....   and be specific.....   I didn't have mohs but it's an excellent means of surgery and it's great that you've been offered it.   It's understandable that you're worried. Please keep in touch with us on this site.. you'll find it a great help and support....
