Glad to hear you are doing well GB. Out of curiosity what did you notice to have it checked out? As I get older I’m starting to get concerned about skin issues but don’t always know what to look for besides moles that appear out of nowhere.
Glad to hear you are doing well and thanks for sharing , this is definitely something a lot of us need to be on the lookout for.
. A little while later the surgeon comes back in and says good news, we got it all, and I'm like no s##t m##f###ker, of course you got it all 
. I was really upset and called my doctor later in the day to ask about it. Her nurse called me back and said that since it was nodular (as well as superficial) they had to go deeper than just superficial layers. That was in August and I've got an appt. with my regular dr. in February to check things out and I'm going to be sure to let her know what I think.

I'm sharing this not to scare you but to prepare you and to make sure you communicate well with your doctor. I had a skin tag sized BCC between my eye and temple. They told me the Mohs would take thin layers off, etc. Well the surgeon was a different doctor in the same practice. We get in there and he's working for a while and I'm wondering what he's doing. He gets done and tells me they're going to check the tissue out to see if they got it all. A little while later the nurse comes in and she's looking at things and I've got my cell phone out. She says do you want a picture and I say ok. She takes a picture and hands me my cell phone back and I look and I've got a dime-sized hole in my face that's pretty deep. I was in shock
In hindsight, I think what happened is that my doctor had scraped a layer of skin off with the skin tag sized BCC and left a dime-sized red mark on my face. The surgeon colored in that entire area with a marker and said does this look right? and I said yeah I guess, that's where it was, thinking he was going to slice thin layers on that spot. Then he proceeded to remove that whole section of my face
Mine finally healed. Because of it ripping open in New York I had to go for therapy several weeks to get it under control. Good luck with your treatment as well.
Not bad. It seemed to be healing nicely until I noticed that they left one of the stitches in that was under the surface and started poking out. Had to pull that out so the scar opened a little bit. The redness around it has gone down but it hasn't healed i.e. become relatively unnoticeable, as quickly as I thought it would. I'm still putting Aquaphor on it each night and during the day when I remember.
Still a little noticeable but my wife never mentions it so maybe we have just grown used to it? Also don't receive the "what did you do, run into something comments" anymore so that's a sign that it may be starting to blend in with the wrinkles....lol
