After much hesitation, I did go last week to have the Moh surgery on the squamous site on my chin. The little tiny spot required two Moh cuttings, and eventually a dozen sutures diagonally across the left front area of my chin. I had the sutures removed today, and will be seen again by the dermatologist in October. My jaw is now very bruised, and when asked at the post office by a friend, "What happened to you?" I told her that she ought to see the other guy. :-/
