Scared as just been referred by GP for suspected BCC or SCC

My GP thinks it's likely I have BCC or SCC he said he thinks early stage and likely to be treatable but I'm really scared

    It is scary being diagnosed with BCC or SCC however these skin cancers are over 99% curable. Minor surgery under local anaesthetic removes them and that is it over with. I had my first removed 35 years ago. You must protect your skin from now on with suncream clothing hats and avoiding strong midday sunshine or you are likely to develop further lesions.
