Is it normal?

Iv just been diagnosed as having BCC. Is it normal to feel like I'm passing it off as nothing and do I need to be worried or can I carry on with saying it is what it is, I just don't know how to feel really and is it really common like people are saying 

  • Hello Humber,

    How you're feeling is totally natural, sometimes it can be unclear how to feel in certain situations. As you've just been diagnosed it's can help to feel informed about what the next steps could be and your doctor is there to support and guide you through that so don't be afraid to ask questions. On our website, there's lots of information and advice around skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma which you can refer to at any time.

    I hope this is helpful,

  • Hi Anastasia thanks for the reply, I have indeed got an appointment on the 8th to discuss things further with a plastic surgeon and they are also going to operate on the 15th to perform major surgery which includes a skin graft, I just don't weather or not to feel happy that it's only skin cancer or be worried incase I develop any other form, I just feel weird about it tbh
