No sign of basel cell cancer after biopsy. Would the pathology repot be able to tell how deep it is?

Asked By:ctgirl2013 in Bantam, CT

I have had a large reddish limp with blood vessels showing around it for over 3 yrs. Had some type of biopsy done. A lot of pus came out and the pathology report came back stating they found invasive basel cell cancer. My cheek is healing nicely now. Nothing shows on my face now, but a hole and I am wondering if the report can tell how deep the cancer is and should I have another biopsy to see if the cancer is gone scheduled for Mohs in 3 weeks. Do not want to do the procedure if the cancer is gone.
