(GENES in play here) It was also diagnosed as basal cell. However, unlike New York, we don’t got much choices here in State College, Pennsultucky. So, I’m having mine removed in the local barber shop where I here they be good with the straight razor. Hey, maybe we can get a package deal on this <span class="caps">MOHS</span> thing.</p> I’m back in on Monday to have the rest on mine removed as well.

I didn’t mean it that way. I always think that if a doctor can afford to work/live/practice here, he or she must be good. :] Sorry, folks. That’s not to say that there are awesome doctors everywhere. In fact, doctors who wise up and get out are probably the best. :] heh</p> That NY bit reads snotty. I didn’t mean it that way.

It was under her right eye (near her cheekbone). I went with her for the outpatient surgery. She was really upset after she left the office because of what it looked like immeadiately after the surgery. She wouldn’t even look in my direction.</p> <p>Now, you can’t even tell she ever had the surgery. Her dermatologist was also a plastic surgeon.</p> My ex-wife had a Basal Cell surgery.

I’ve had it appear on my nose 3 times, the last two times I had the <span class="caps">MOHS</span> procedure done also. This last time was more severe than before, the <span class="caps">MOHS</span> surgery took a large part of my nose off and the cosmetic surgery that followed the next day was intense. They took a large flap from my forehead and pulled it down to form a new nose. It sounds a lot worse than it really was.</p> <p>Not sure what your policy on url’s is but I have several pictures of the whole procedure, from surgery table to healing almost 10 months now. You can see these at http://www.basalcellmohs.com/mohs/gallery_index.html Just beware, these are raw. But my point here is that you are going to do just fine, look what they did to me, I think you’ll feel better.</p> Your going to be OK, it’s amazing how the doctors can repair facial areas that have been affected by basal cell cancer.
