.....good luck today!

Thanks everyone 🙂 All done and dusted (hopefully, will get confirmation in a couple of weeks). Lots of blood and stitches, but I think I'll live 😉 Op took about 40 mins.

Hope you are not too uncomfortable.

Take care of yourself, glad everything hopefully sorted.

Glad to hear that you are back at home. You are very, very brave -and even braver if you had that done with only a local anaesthetic. I hope that it isn't too sore and you're able to have comfortable evening/night.

Thanks Amanda 🙂 I had a broken femur operated on under a local anaesthetic, so this wasn't too bad in comparison 😉 (actually fell asleep during the femur op 😱

I'm presuming the local has worn off now - it is a little bit itchy and sore, but not too bad really. The doctor tried to minimise the removal at the margins as it was quite a big wound, but he hopes that he has removed it all. He said that the cream would have around an 80% chance of success and the op was much higher. The place of the cancer was good for removal as the skin was not too tight to start with, so could withstand being removed and stitched back together. Stitches to be removed in 14 days.

Glad it went well.....great that it is sorted! 🙂

Sounds encouraging so far - short term pain for long term gain I trust

Oh right! - read the Northie threads in the wrong order (started at the top of the list instead of the bottom LOL)

Oh YUK, but worth the pain to get rid of the damn thing, eh?

Get well soon!

 

[Northerner]

Hurrah! Postie just brought me a letter saying that the basal cell cancer has been completely removed, and I should regard it as cured!

That is absolutely tremendously fantastic news. I am so pleased What are you going to do to celebrate??
