I dont know you, but that doesnt matter. hope all is well for your dad.
my sister had a scare the other week. she had to do the thing where they take a bit out to check. it was all good luckily.
no joke a week later my mom had same scare.. same operation.. and again.. all good.. but both need to check back in 3 months.
it sucks hardcore when this stuff happens.
can't imagine what you are going through but really do hope the best for you and your family.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that everything turned out ok with your family. More than likely they will have to do the surgery to remove it, and he will have to check back every couple of months but we aren't sure of the staging yet.
Spend as much time with him as you can, and try to not think about the bad stuff. Just enjoy the time you have with him.
Yeah, I was reading somewhere the recovery and what not from this is pretty good if you catch it early which I believe they did, although my dad is the type of person well...he's a "man's man" who won't tell you he's sick unless it's really bad. Like if he has a really bad cold he won't do anything about it until it's super bad. But he luckily learned the hard way a couple of years ago when he ended up losing 70 pounds and most of his muscle mass. So he had to learn to take his health a lot more seriously.
Sorry to hear about your situation this is hard. I have recently been looking into skin cancer and feel like i wont be catching sun or sitting at the beach with top off etc ever again.
From my experience with 1 family member they had skin cancer many many times and lived to be a very old age, but yes it was the cause of death in the end.
Yeah I always wear a hat, and try to wear sunscreen and what not when I'm out in the sun now, it's crazy but I wouldn't have though of those things when I was in my teens or twenties and now I'm all about it.
My dad is 67 (turning 68 this July) he has a family history of cancer that runs pretty deep but hopefully this will just be a one time scare for him and he'll be ok.
Thank you all for the kind words.
