How deep does Moh's surgery go in removing Basal Cell Carcinoma on scalp?

319marcella
How deep do they go? Mine is on my scalp. How IF my BCC goes into the bone, will they remove that? Then fuse the bone back? My BCC has been frozen off three times, but continues to come back. Now I am having MOHS surgery and am concerned about them getting it all. I am scared.
