The dark shadow between my eye and bridge of my nose is squamous cell carcinoma. Mohs surgery is scheduled for 8/19. Here’s hoping we get it all. I think he recommended that I should seek shelter from the sun in an Irish pub. Doctor’s orders and all that. 7 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 27, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 27, 2020 Best of luck. Mohs didn't exist when I had my first so they just took out a pie shaped slice of my upper lip and stitched it back together. Hard to believe that I once had a larger mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohs surgery is scheduled for 8/19 My younger fairer skinned brother has had Mohs a couple times. He generally does some sort of daily cream on issues that are not on his face (shoulder or scalp or back), but I've seen some rough stuff from his Mohs stuff including right before Christmas last year, which made the various parties a lot of explaining about it. He is only 39, so he seems a bit less lucky than you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
