Skin cancer

Anyone here every had skin cancer?
Monday I had my first diagnosis of skin cancer from a bump over my left eye.

I went to the dermatologist Monday for a odd bump over my left eye, she cut it out and sent it to labs, called me Friday morning and informed me it is skin cancer and set me up with an appointment for November 14th to go in and try to cut it all out.

I asked how much do you have to cut out, she said it depends. We will cut some out, look to see if we got it all, if not go in and cut more out.
I asked how big a spot are we talking about. She said it could be dime size to silver dollar size(or bigger).

I'm like really? That will be down into my eyebrow almost to my eye. She said we wont know until we get in there.

Anyways give me some good mojo that it isn't a big spot they have to take out and that they get it all.

Thanks in advance.

Which kind is it? I had basal cell carcinoma on my upper arm and they scooped it out. Besides basal cell, there is squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma (the bad kind.)

Best wishes. Biology can sure suck at times.

Still, catching it early can mean all the difference as with my own health situation as well.

Sounds like it's still early. Good thing is skin heals back albeit uncomfortable atm.

Let us know how you fare.

My wife had that same procedure several years ago and has done fine. Doc had to go a bit deeper than anticipated but he said that's not unusual.

Good luck with yours.
