I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma. Some people know that I work with Breast Cancer patients but my job also involves skin cancer as well, mostly Melanomas or Squamous Cell. I believe Basal Cell is not an aggressive metastatic cancer but I do not have any experience with it. Are you having surgery to remove more of the area to achieve good margins of the cancerous area? Is it a plastic surgeon doing the surgery?
I hope that you have a fast and complete recovery from your surgery.
