Squamous cell again

Hello I have a squamous forehead carcinoma for the 2nd time in 5 years...I'm worried as there's not enough skin to 'play with' and am worried about deformity or skin grafts..

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I'm sorry you are having to go through this again. It's understandable to feel worried especially when it is in a visible area.

    Surgery can sometimes be tricky if the same spot is affected more than once, and if there isn't a lot of extra skin to work with. But your specialist will explain your options and what steps can be taken to minimise any changes to your appearance.

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
