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....
