I am glad that I have been of some help to you. You have been through Mohs twice, so you know how it goes! I have had three or four basal cells on my upper chest and two or three on my nose. I have also had them on my shoulders and on my back. They were all removed using MOHS. I think that I must be one of their best customers!!! Each time one of them has been removed, I have felt so good that it was gone. None of them have ever come back. I have also had squamous cell skin cancer in several places, which is considered a little worse than basal cells. I also had MOHS for them. I live in a suburb of Boston MA so I have now become a patient of Mass General Hospital Dermatology because I want to be sure that they catch everything. I have had one visit with them and they were wonderful, so my husband and I will have a follow up app’t in March. I will stay with them and see this dr every six months for a skin check. I feel certain that you will be fine when they remove your current basal cell. From what I have been told, the basal cells are very slow growing and do not spread. They remove them so that they will not invade tissues below them. I will keep you in my prayers. Keep me posted. I have a very good feeling that all will go well. Mary Ann in MA
