My partner as bcc on his nose he's had it treated once but unfortunately the left some in  and it came back the thing is it's spread bit more his nose looks awful Ive tried and tried telling him to go GP to be referred again but feel like I'm hitting a brick wall   it bleeds basically his nose on one side is a mess  Allan he keeps saying people keep staring at him don't know what else to do please advise 

  • Hi Georgie

    If he wont listen to you, is there anyone else that is close to him that could have some influence. It really is important to get the BCC treated it will not get better on its own. Ive had one removed from my nose with a skin graft, it looks OK now after many years. Ive also had many more removed plus SCCs and now incurable metastatic SCC. While it is unlikely Allan will end up in my situation if he leaves it too long he will end up losing an ever greater part of his nose with people staring even more.

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your partners situation. Unfortunately other than encouraging your partner to go back to the doctors there is little else you can do.

    I'm afraid sometimes treatment isn't successful for a bcc and further treatment is needed so do also let him know this. The sooner he gets seen the better.

    I hope he books an appointment with his GP and gets this sorted out quickly.

    Best wishes
