Hi everyone
just an update on my skin cancer diagnoses
after searching every scrap of information on google and frightening myself so much
I had good results from my wide excision on my lower leg
I had a sore on my leg that wouldn't heal which I left far too long
I don't even know why as I had breast cancer 6
years ago and had all the fear from that
I should have known better than to ignore it
for 18 Months at least
I urge anyone doing this to get to there gp as soon as possible
eventually I contacted my dr
she referred me to a dermatologist
I watched for the postman everyday
in the end I rang the out patients at the hospital
they told me they were only just doing Januarys
Urgent cases this was in June
real panic set in
I went privately had a biopsy which confirmed
squarous and Basosquamous skin cancer
I had an op the week later under local anesthetic
and a skin graft because it was on my shin
not much flesh to sew
results were to weeks later all ok good margins away from a 1mm tumour
it's all healing well a bit sore
