I am really struggling with dealing with the anxiety and waiting, having seen two MOHS surgeons this week who both painted a truly grim picture of what I face. Despite them both saying I should be a priority case (one nhs, one private), neither can give me a date as they are so fully booked. I am on the NHS list and the surgeon was very sympathetic and said she would try and 'fit me in'. I would be grateful to find someone on this forum who has faced this and got through it. I'm finding it hard to work and concentrate, feel totally in limbo, can't plan the future, can't accept work comissions and am being a burden on my family and friends. I also find that because it's my face, it's the first thing anyone says to me when they see me, so it's the only topic of conversation. One friend actually shouted across a car park yesterday 'how was your visit to the MOHS surgeon? The NHS system is so complicated (multiple departments involved) that there's no particular person managing my care and I just have to wait to be contacted by 'the MOHS coordinator'. I would be really grateful to find someone to talk to.
Hi Gord926354 and a very warm welcome to our corner of the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I haven't had Mohs surgery, my BCC was removed by excision, but I can understand why you'd want to talk to others who have had this procedure on their face.
There are lots of people in the group who've had Mohs surgery and if you click here it will take you to their posts. The most recent person who's posted about their experience of this procedure on their face is Cockerpoo67 so I've 'tagged' them into my reply to you and hopefully they'll pop on and share their experience.
