Two lady surgeons were fantastic

I was referred with skin cancer on my leg, I asked them at the time if they could do it without a skin graft, the plastic surgeon came and they decided if it was needed where they would take the skin from. During the process, I remained awake and they decided that they could join the existing skin together rather than have a skin graft. I thought that the whole process went very well and the team were professional at all times. Not long after I found another lump on another area on my leg and again I was referred back to the same team and this time the cancer was burned off, fantastic surgeon. Both of these procedures done under cancer day surgery.
