I have a basel cell infiltrative carcinoma on the bridge to side of the nose. I am 75 yr.

I am 75 yrs. Old. What will happen if I choose not to have the Mohs surgery, followed with a forehead flap. The forehead flap surgery is so invasive and has such a long recovery time. Is it really necessary for someone my age?
