Hi Harry,

That's a shock for you. What type of skin cancer is it? If it's melanoma it's normal to do a further surgical procedure (wide local excision) as 'belt & braces' to ensure any stray cells are mopped up.

Good luck,  I'm sure you are in good hands,

Angie (melanoma patient)

Hello Angie

To be truthful I do not know what type of cancer it is all I've got so far is - they need to cut into the ear muscle and I have been told that this will not affect my hearing but it will leave me with a numb ear

It looks as though you have been through the hoop as well I trust that you are on the right side now - it was very nice to hear from you --- did not expect a reply as quick as that

Hi Harry,

Thank you for asking, I'm fine (crossed fingers).

I'm sure your surgery will go well & you will be told more about your diagnosis afterwards. You sound to be very pragmatic gentleman & I wish you well. Take care & if you should need any advice then don't hestitate to ask. 

Angie
