I recently had a biopsy which confirmed that a lesion on my scalp is cancerous, and I have been referred for surgery. I have read that waiting lists are long and that bcc is not regarded as urgent. I am quite worried though. I have had this scab for quite a long time, but it now bleeds every night, is growing and is very sore/painful. The pain seems to penetrate deep into my scalp. I know that bcc doesn’t usually metastasise but I don’t see any mention of it normally causing so much discomfort. Do these increasing symptoms mean that there is a possibility that this is actually progressing into something more worrying?
