@jodes1984: I'm glad I was able to provide some explanations. Hopefully the fact sheet from Mayo on SCC gives a good amount of background on the types of SCC and the various types of treatment that may be indicated once - and IF - the biopsy reveals the particular features. While Mohs surgery is the most common type of treatment, there are other approaches that may be considered. Remember, everyone presents differently so there's no "one size fits all" treatment so it's hard to speculate at this time.

I will share with you that when I was worrying myself about my melanoma diagnosis, a song popped into my head. You may not be familiar with it because it's quite an oldie (I used to hear it in the mornings on a radio program my parents listened to) that went: "What's the use of worrying, it never was worthwhile...." . Believe it or not, whenever my thoughts turned a bit dark I'd think of that song and it did help! I admit there have been times I've needed to remind myself to get back in tune, quite literally, but I've learned the what-if game isn't the best for my mind, body and spirit. Because even in the most dire, "dangerous" scenarios there have always been medical professionals to help guide me along, answer my questions when they arose and provide the interventions I've required to get me from a place of uncertainty to a place of trust, confidence and resiliance. I hope this is the sense you get after meeting with your provider on Thursday and remain open to their expertise as they also help to guide you accordingly.

If you can, please post a note after your consultation.
