Hi there - I am awaiting MOHS surgery for a BCC on the side of my nose. I had a biopsy in December 2024 which confirmed infiltrative BCC. I saw the Consultant in Jan 2025 and was told it was a 7-8 month waiting list. I called again this week and was told they are now seeing pts who were seen April/May last year, so it is looking like my surgery will not be until Jan/Feb 2026. I am worried that during this time the BCC will be growing ( it doesn’t look any bigger on the surface, but I am concerned rd what is happening underneath the surface). The bigger it gets, the more destruction to my nose. I am getting more anxious, easily fly off the handle about little things and can’t stop eating, sweet treats!! I know it is all stress related, but just wanted to get it off my chest! I need to put the delay in surgery to the back of my mind. It is hard though when you see friends and family getting dates for their non cancer surgeries, which I am pleased for them, but then I am still waiting for cancer surgery. Does anyone else feel like this?
