Hello all,
I just went today to a General Surgeon who took a biopsy of an
unusual spot just above my knee. I saw a GP last week who sent me to him. Nice older man, very wise, said he thought it may be
a basil cell, but did a biopsy and will let me know next week.
I asked him about radiation or anything and he said he would
remove it with a local if it came back bad and that would be it!
He said he had one in the same place and he removed it himself
years ago and that was all he did.
I will go to my Ent in a couple of weeks, but he stays in his
specialty and won't comment on dentists, etc.
Has anyone had a skin cancer removed? If so, did you have
any treatments afterward? I so hope it is not, but I just
am unsure if this Surgeon is telling me everything?
Thanks all who listen,
Debbie
