Dad's Cancer Surgery

Dad's (my step father) cancer surgery was a success - they cut out all of the skin cancer out of his chin. They closed the wound with stitches and now he will heal for the next several weeks. He said he didn't feel anything - no pain at all.

Dad's Skin Cancer Appointment

My Dad (step father) has a growth on his chin. His primary doctor said it looked like cancer and sent him to a dermatologist. The dermatologist appointment was today. The doctor took one look at it and said "Yep, that is Squamous".

The dermatologist then removed the lump and cauterized the wound. He said he would send the lump to the lab and if the lab determined he didn't get all the cancer? My Dad would have to go to a surgeon for a deeper cut on his chin.
