I had a biopsy done on a thing on my face last week and it turned out to be a small basal cell carcinoma. So today, I went for surgery on it. The cancer is all gone, but now I have a 3-inch-long thin scar where the small cancer was removed and skin was cut to close the wound. The hard part is for the next two days I have to leave the padded dressing on and the right side of my face is swollen. The itching has started, I have to sleep in the recliner to keep my head up, and I'm not allowed to do a thing. This is going to be a very long 48 hours....
