Basal Cell Carcinoma - having surgery tomorrow and feeling anxious. What can I expect?

Offline JennyJee over 1 year ago

Hi all recently diagnosed with Basal Cell carcinoma on my face which has been there about 9 years. Stupidly I never thought it was anything suspicious!

im having surgery tomorrow which will be an excision with flap. Due to my deep anxiety I’m having a general anesthetic but I’m terrified.

please can anyone reassure me at all as to what to expect .

thank you

Hi Jenny

All will go well today. It is a short operation with a very high sucess rate. When the anaesthetic fully wears off in a couple of days time you will feel fine. Follow all the instructions on keeping dressing dry and subsequent wound care in time the scar left will fade away. Take care of your skin by using factor 50 suncream hats avoiding midday sun etc or you may get further lesions. Wishing you the best.
