Just diagnosed with squamous cell skin cancer. Need to have it cut out. Had two more biopsyed. Doctor has not even called to tell me if they are cancer. Scared to death. No one to talk to that knows about it. It is on my face. Have to wait two weeks for surgery. Is that soon enough? Trying to stay positive and then I hear someone talking about me dying and then I am in panic mode again. Thanks for any help.
