Skin Cancer Mohs Surgery & What to Expect | My Experience having Mohs Surgery for My Skin Cancer
If you watched my video a few weeks ago about my skin cancer returning, link: • Skin Cancer Returning ...
this video today is my surgery day video for my Mohs surgery to have the skin cancer removed. Don’t worry, I didn’t film the actual surgery, nor is there anything inappropriate in this video (no blood, open skin, etc.). This video is more the beginning of my journey; dealing with this new skin cancer case of mine and having the surgery to get rid of it. I wanted to explain a little about what it looks like to have Mohs surgery, if you or someone you know is going to be having Mohs surgery soon, or for anyone who might be interested in watching. This is my 2nd time having skin cancer and 2nd Mohs surgery, so it’s not all new to me. However, it has been almost 9 years since my last Mohs surgery and there was so much I forgot about the whole procedure. I wanted to document this; 1. So I myself can remember and 2. Have it be available to others out there that want to know what to expect (especially with this being current).
I will be giving up-dates on my recovery coming soon....
I hope you enjoy this video! Don’t forget to like, comment, and SUBSCRIBE! I have more travel, cooking, homeschooling, motherhood, and family fun videos on the way!! Thanks for your support always 💗 Holly

Thank you for sharing. I've been searching the internet for videos similar to this because I have a BCC on my nose. They only do Mohs surgeries on Mondays so My surgery will be on November 13th. Again, thank you for sharing your story

Ultimately I wanted to do this video to show people that might be having Mohs surgery what the process looks like, I had never seen anyone explain it before on KZread this way. Thank you so much watching 💗
Before all the swelling, you looked pretty normal. It would have been interesting to know pain level during the procedure for those who will need to do this procedure.
Thank you for sharing your story. I had a biopsy taken about 2 weeks ago on my abdomin of a mole I had that was being a little weird. Theu called me and said they found the mole was abnormal, and they want to take more. I'm assuming their doing MOHS surgery but didn't tell me the name of the procedure. They just said they would numb my abdominal area where they're doing the procedure and take out the more tissue and then stitch me up. I'm assuming I'm having MOHS surgery? I wanted your opinion on what it sounds like, I know you can only go by your experience, but I would love to hear your feedback

Hello, Thank you for the message. I am sorry to hear about your up coming surgery and hope it all goes well. Honestly I can't say if that is Mohs Surgery or not. I don't know if "Mohs" surgery is only on the face area or not. Very sorry that I can't give better feed back, I am not a medical expert, and like you said I can only go by my own experience. Again wish you well on your surgery and trust your recovery will be speedy 💜🤗

@@walkswithholly4610 thank you for your feedback. Surgery day is tomorrow, ready to find out what is going on in my spot. Hope you have recovered well and all your screenings are coming back good
I am going to have to have this procedure on the very tip of my nose. Were you prescribed an antibiotic after the procedure?

Sorry to hear about that! No I was not prescribed any antibiotics after the procedure. I mainly took ibuprofen. It was definitely painful the first day once the numbing wore off from the surgery. But with a few days of rest it went away. Best wishes to you for a good surgery, and even better recovery!

Thank you John! I hop that this was helpful 🙂
I am having my surgery on February 9th..It started out like a small wart. Perfect for Halloween, right? Thanks for the insight. Hope all is well now. I also had Melanoma on my left arm about 5 inches from my shoulder. They got it all. Thank God, cause Melanoma is much worse than Basal Cell Carcinoma.

Best wishes to you Judy regarding your surgery on Feb 9th! I know it is no fun having to deal with this. The first week after is always the toughest - but then time flies by and it all heals. Hope this video was helpful 😊
