>Why the 15 minute hassle when you have an appointment cancellation right before I called then say “oh, I didn’t know you already had a basal cell removed?”
Lol, I know. I had a squamos on my upper lip of all things, had reconstructive surgery twice now and I look fine, that one grows fast (squamos), basal doesn't scare me, you'll probably be fine.
We had my dad on the frontline protocol, yes, with the quercetin and all.
I had it on my temple had mohs and told them to take extra large margins and go as deep as they could lol. They did, the only problem I’d your eyebrow nerve remind through there and may get damaged. When they went to see it back up they asked my to raise my eyebrow so they could make it cosmetic. Then they all laughed when I tried.
When I got home I realized my eyebrow didn’t move, just my luck but the next morning it was fine. they had pumped me up with so much Novocain it had deadened the nerve.
Yeah basal is fine, I get a few keratosis a year now that itch and get blasted off at each visit but I’m always worried it’s a nodular melanoma.
I know, melanoma scares the crap out of me, fortunately it's much more rare, last I read. I have known people though who died from it.
Dang, mohs right there on the temple, that's yuk. Mine was so deep they couldn't do that, it was full on cut it out with big margins, worst time of my life. And got addicted to pain pills on top of that.
I would’ve never noticed it but we got a new couch with textured pillow cushions and it got a giant bloody scab the size of a quarter. I didn’t even notice it until we were headed out to a birthday party and my GF mentioned it, great, nothing like ruining my night lol.
My ex brother in law had squamous and they had to reconstruct his nose and have body ct scans for a few a few years. Do you have follow ups etc?
Mohs was simple, the hardest part was waiting for the real time biopsy for two hours but since they went extra wide and deep they supposedly got it all with one procedure. They were so concerned with the cosmetic aspect I didn’t care, sow it up and leave a scar, just get rid of it.
I had never heard of nodular melanoma until at my last check up she was decided to spray a few keratosis just in case they decided to turn into nodular melanoma(which they can’t). I looked it up and it’s like WTF why isn’t this in the PSA’s, it can just be a tiny bump that grows inward instead of out and is usually diagnosed late.
Sound like a major surgery. I hate opioids, I had my tonsils out a few years ago after the second day I quit and just went with the pain. I drift, can’t sleep and after a day or two make me extremely anxious. Dilaudid is the worst but I had enough pills 4mg for ever 2 hours for 14 days. I still have them saved in case I get another kidney stone which I get on occasion and is the only thing that can take the pain away until it moves down lower.
I take valium for my back, no side effects at all except muscle relaxation. I can take them for a few months then stop for months.
