Help, I have Squamous Cell Carcinoma on Nose

I've had a spot on my nose for several years that was just diagnosed as Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Dermatologist is sending me to someone who does Mohs. What am I in for? What should I look for in a good Mohs performing doctor? What questions should I ask ahead of time? What can I expect afterwards? Should I start looking for a plastic surgeon beforehand? Please help, I don't know what to do and I'm very scared.
