Getting Anxious

My past history is SCC removed from my neck with a course of Aldara. I currently am doing 2 weeks of Efudex on my face and scheduled for Mohs for SCC on my nose. I am off work for a few weeks for the holidays and hoping my face will be cleared up when I go back to work. Once I go back to work I need to advise my employer I will be taking time off for the surgery. I wish I did not have to tell them anything and could return when I am done with my treatment. Or I could tell them I will be off for a medical procedure, but I don't see this working due to returning to work with a bandage on my nose and questions asked. I am just really getting anxious over all of this.
