I had surgery 2 weeks ago removal of scc in groin front to back... 17 stitches one side 5 on other. 4 removed . Got infected so hot stuff down there. Living on pain killers and antibiotics. Laying down mostly. Sitting not good and walking like I'm still sitting on horse back. Waiting on final results that it's all gone. Lucky I have a loving husband not sure if will ever will be able to make love again but atleast I'm still hear and am going to enjoy our lives together in what ever we do. Looking ahead wanting to go camping as soon as I can. Wishing every one the best and that I think for me looking ahead to more happy days sitting by camp fire and nice roast in camp oven. With a glass of red wine. 😊 days

Hi @Lilly1 ,
Oh my goodness , you poor thing, what a horrible experience for you.
I've had a few skin cancers removed, actually more than a few, as I love the beach and walking, but never had a skin cancer down there, must be extremely painful.
So sorry.
But you have a good attitude and it WILL heal, I just want you to know I'm thinking of you.
Sending healing thoughts and hugs,
Cindi xx❤️
