Hi

Join the club of the many of us with skin cancer. Like you I have a long history of BCC and SCC. The procedure is the same, surgery to remove the lesion. You should not be overly worried whilst SCC can spread it mostly does not. As you likely have a lot of sun damage it is really important to protect your skin.

No you are not wrong. Peoples perception of someone being diagnosed with skin cancer is like it is just a minor inconvenience. Ive even had GPs tell me that it is not really a cancer. Ive had 30 years being treated for BCC and SCC with some very disfiguring scars on my face and body. While it very unlikely to happen to most people Im now on palliative care for metastatic SCC in spine lung shoulder and previously salivary glands and throat. So it can be a serious diagnosis. I hope you upcoming treatment is successful and you can get on with your life.
