Asked By:Charlie673 in Louisville, KY

I have recently been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma and recommended to Mohs surgery. I am having delays getting an appointment with a Mohs surgeon. I am supposed to leave for Europe in February for 3 months. What is the latest I canreasonably have the surgery in order to safely travel? If I can't get a timely appointment, would it be safe to leave it til I return May 1? Thanks so much?
