Waiting 5 months for Mohs surgery for BCC

A few years ago I had a BCC on my lower right eyelid and had to wait two months for the MOHS surgery. I had to travel an hour to get it. The worst part was they removed most of the eyelid and I had to travel another 20 minutes to a plastic surgeon, who kept me in a very uncomfortable chair for another two hours and then told me my eyelid would be sewn shut for six weeks. I was a bloody mess for a few days. It was a miserable few days but it turned out to be just fine and most people can't tell there was any surgery at all. Since then, I've had a large one on a shin that got infected and took 12 weeks to heal and a smaller one last week that seems to be fine, so far. I'm not sure what my point is here, but I got to vent a little. Good luck.

I have had several MOHS surgery's on my shins.
I have SCC on my legs and had several open wounds and was in great pain.
MAYO recommend "Wound care" it has been the greatest thing ever!!!! Thank you.
I am under the care of an oncologist and receive Immunotherapy every 3 weeks and will have another PET scan end of this month. I will have had 6 infusions.
Let's see if it's working!
