Multiple skin cancer removals at once

I was recently diagnosed with 3 basal cell skin cancers. I’m feeling really anxious about the surgery as previous Mohs surgeries have been really painful. I was hoping to get all 3 taken care of at the same time, but most places around me only do one at a time. I did find one location that would do 2 at a time . I’m just wondering which would be better? I feel like getting more done at once would be better, but will it be more painful. Has anyone ever had multiple Mohs surgeries in the same day? What was your experience like?

    I would love to chat about your MOHS experience as I am facing surgery soon. This is my third cancer diagnosis in 11 months and this upcoming surgery will be my fourth surgery. I’m hoping to get a sense of what the MOHS surgery is like and why you say it’s painful? I thought you are numbed up? Did you need reconstructive surgery? Looking forward to hearing from you.
