Hi Mags1961. Welcome to the forum.

I should start out by saying that I'm not a doctor.

Basal cell carcinoma (sometimes called a "rodent ulcer") is a cancer, but it's one of the easiest to cure and it almost never spreads.  A friend of mine developed one near his eye over 20 years ago. He had it removed and never had any more problems with it.  This is the typical situation with type of cancer. 

So, the fact that it's a cancer is really just a minor technicality, and surgery should fix it up completely. 

Hi Mags

Just been told he same - BCC on the end of my nose - Im bit dazedtoo by i all - my dermatologist said he will jut cut it out but i am terrified, due to where it is, that I will be disfigured

I was interested to see that you are waiting to see a plastic surgeon - did your dermatologist recommend that or did you insist?

I would feel much sfter in the hands of a plstic surgeon than the dermatologist - didthey offer you Mohs Micrographic surgery or the Photodynamic?

Scary times

Regards
