How serious should I take basal cell cancer removed from my nose?

June 28, 2017
Asked By:gowally in Alameda, CA

I recently had small area removed from my nose...that came back as basal cell cancer from the biopsy. The Dr now wants to go in and work on the area more. My issue is he requires $950 up front for the procedure, because my health insurance has high deductible. It's entirely possible that the basal cell was removed with the first procedure. How likely are the risks and my chances that it will cause more problems.
