    Sorry to hear your news.
    If it is any consolation of all the cancers to have it is the best(!) & very treatable.
    I have been doing a lot of reseach on it recently.

    Oh Cumbria, I'm so sorry to hear that. My uncle had skin cancer in his ear last year and had it removed. He's now in remission and very healthy.

    At least it's been found and before I go to Australia.

    So sorry to hear your news, hope you’re ok x

    Oh I'm so sorry Cumbria :(. What treatment did the doctors suggest? From what beanie said it sounds treatable so that's a relief.

    As Beanie says it's the best one to have if you have to have it. Something called Mohs surgery is what is to be done. I had an inkling as my appt was arranged very soon . Back to the hospital I think next , good job I live across the road . Not in the least bit worried ,(well maybe a bit about the surgery ) more bothered by this stupid cough and laryngitis .

    If anyone has had this surgery please come forward ?

    Went to McDonalds with the DGC and spent about £6 and posted eBay parcel.

    New card arrived today so will set up internet access and get sorted .

    Oh poor Cumbria - you have been in the wars lately!:(

    I was shocked to hear of your latest news but from what a lot of the other posters and you have said it appears to be very treatable. My dad had a nasty cancerous lump removed from his forehead when he was in his seventies - never bothered him again and he was fine.

    I hope you manage a peaceful night’s sleep tonight and take it easy tomorrow.

    And good news on your diary by the way. :)

    Done some reading tonight and the waiting time can be 18 weeks as obviously not as bad as serious cancer .

    Lord help me I have a liver scan week on Saturday, who knows what they may find . I have just had a run of bad luck but it will come to an end eventually (I hope ) .
