MOHS Surgery

I had MOHS surgery on my left cheek today to remove bad little cells that had taken up residence there. I was at the dermatologist's office for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I think the surgery took about twenty minutes. They called later to say that they had gotten the deep cells but that there were some peripheral cells that still remain that they can freeze dry in about four weeks. I will get my stitches removed next Tuesday. All in all the procedure wasn't bad - there really was no pain except the small sting of the needles when I got numbed - and the healing pain isn't very much either, yet. The last time I had it, it wasn't bad either. Tylenol will take care of it, if necessary.
