How Does Mohs Surgery Help In Treating Basal Cell Carcinoma Completely?

I just found out that I have a basal cell carcinoma on my neck and will be going in to Mohs surgery on the 23rd of August. I am familiar with Mohs for pre-cancer treatment but am scared to death about this new issue. I m concerned that the cancer will metatasize or that it is in my lymph nodes. YYYY@YYYY
