Hello Cat23j

I'm sorry to hear that you have a BCC and that you're due to have it removed tomorrow. It's really difficult for us to say if you will need time off work, as there are so many variable factors to consider.

Do talk through any concerns you have with the specialist when you see them tomorrow and if you need to take time off while you heal, then hopefully your employer will be supportive.

I hope that all goes smoothly tomorrow Cat23j. Do let us know how you get on.

Best wishes,
Jenn
