I am 89 yrs. and understand your hesitation for needles and knives. I recently yielded to Moh's on scalp for fast growing squamous and am still healing from associated skin graft. All very unpleasant. but needed? Best to you.

Part of the reason I was hesitant to proceed with the MOHS was my discomfort with the surgeon and others at the Dermatology practice. My primary has since advised that I should have the procedure and referred me to another dermatologist. I will see that doctor soon and I will see how that goes,

I am still healing from Moh's, it has been 6 months and it still is very tender and sore. I really don't want to go back to the surgeon and face more pain. The area is on my lip which is extremely sensitive, and there is another spot there which just might be yet another cancer.
I have an appointment with my regular dermatologist in a couple of days, and don't want him to tell me that I need more surgery.
