Is there a link for multiple BCC and other cancers

I’d really appreciate any insights. I’ve just been diagnosed with my second BCC, and I’m feeling a bit anxious. I’m wondering if this could signal something going on with my immune system—especially since I have two first-degree relatives who’ve had breast cancer.

Has anyone here had multiple BCCs along with a family history of cancer? Were you advised to take any specific steps, like seeing an oncologist or undergoing further testing?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experiences. 

  • I have had 2 bcc's on my face.  Mum had 1 that I can remember and she had breast cancer too.  My plastic surgeon did tell me that when you have had 1 bcc you are more than likely to get others, hence I have had 2. Great isnt it !!!  Not sure you are anymore like to get other cancers as they do say bcc's don't spread, but who knows. xx

  • Hi, I’ve just been to dermatologist with a second BCC. I have at least a 6 week wait until I get it removed.

    I had the first one about 9 years ago.

    My father and my sister have both had one so I’m assuming it is hereditary.

    I Also had breast cancer 4 years ago but honestly don’t think they are related.

    Neither my father or sister have had any other cancers.

    I understand you feeling anxious as I am too but I would speak to your doctor about it.

    Do you get your mammograms done regularly as that’s how my breast cancer was picked up.

    Goid luck with your treatment x
