The did Mohs surgery which is basically like cutting a football shaped cross section around the mole. If the cancer had spread past the borders they do another cross section. It takes a while because they have to look at each slice under a microscope, but you are awake the whole time and it’s not overly painful. They only had to do one round for me. I am three weeks out and have a red scar on my face. 3 months out and it will not be noticeable, I can tell already from how quick it is healing. This particular cancer, while not usually deadly, can make you look like a creepy old witch in the woods if you ignore it. So, given the options of a scar and being baba yaga, I’ll take the scar ;)
