I went to MDA Tues. and saw a oncologist surgeon and dermatologist and I am happy to say that they were not concerned! They said they would have cut out a larger margin, but it is healing since mid Feb. and his adivise was to leave it alone. I am so relieved! :) Now, if I can stop freaking out about any odd new bump or growth....
I was told by my dermatologist that since the margins are clear that everything is good and cancer-free. However, MDA is taking a second look
to make sure there was no microscopic vascular or nerves involved. I'm still waiting to hear back. It has almost been a month since I had this cut out. It is horrible having to wait a month for answers. It took the first lab forever to send over the slides.
Squamous cell carcinomas are graded according to their degree of differentiation and designated as well, moderately, or poorly differentiated. Moderately differentiated tumors fall somewhere in between and is treatable. Get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
