Hi Pam,
This is the first time I’ve found actual humans who are dealing with the same issues that I have been dealing with for the past three years. I had a suspicious spot on my cheek that was biopsied (scrape) in 2020 and found to be an irritated Nevus (benign). Less than three years later, I started getting the electric shock pains in my cheek and eye area. I had an MRI and was sent to a neurologist. Who suggested I urgently see a dermatologist. It took six months to get to surgery. At that point, my cancer was a late stage basosquamous cell carcinoma with PNI. Unfortunately, they were unable to get clear margins. The primary spread was to my infraorbital nerve in addition to other smaller nerves. I’ve had radical resection with neck flap, then eye surgery to correct the ectropian caused by the original surgery. I also underwent daily radiation for seven weeks. While my cancer is stable, I now have complete facial paralysis on my right side and I’m unable to close my right eye completely. How are you doing?
