I just had a bcc removed a couple of weeks back. It was on my forehead, about an inch above my left eye. I've suspected it was something like that for a good while, but I procrastinated, then eventually went ahead & got the biopsy. Good thing it was bcc, because if it had been more serious, I might be very sorry I waited. I won't ever do that again. As it is, the fact that I procrastinated for a couple of years means that my scar is gonna be a good bit bigger. Once I had the diagnoses, my regular dermatologist told me that because of the location, and the size, he didn't feel confident that he could put me back together with the same expertise as a plastic suregeon. He declined to remover the bcc. He told me to find a plastic surgeon. So....just for a 2nd opinion, I went to a much larger town & consulted with a well known dermatologist, who said that he'd do it. He did say that repairing the wound afterwards could be tricky, due to the location (not a lot of tissue to repair with on the forehead) the apparent size of the cancer, and the angle (not just horizontal, but at 35 degree angle). In the end, I decided to take the first doc's advice, & found a plastic surgeon who convinced me during the consultation that I would be in good hands. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm very pleased with how it's healing, and am feeling like I made the right choice in surgeons. He had to do a couple of skin grafts from areas adjacent to the surgery site. I'd never heard of that before, but somehow he cut triangular skin flaps without completely detaching them, turned them around, and used them to nearly completely cover the outside of the site. It's a pretty big site, but the way it's healing is encouraging. He also told me that my cancer wasn't just one single spot, but was several smaller spots that, and that it appeared my immune system had been doing a pretty good job at trying to kill it off, but couldn't quite finish the job. I had areas of healthy tissue between the cancer parts. Anyhow, I REALL hope it's all gone....according to the on-site pathologist he got it all. However, I know from internet research, it's possible that it could still come back. You can bet I'll be taking this stuff much more seriously from now on.
