MOM

Talked to Mom this morning as they were leaving for Flagstaff. In my limited knowledge of Dermatology. She is having a Basal cell cancer removed from her nose. This is not a invasive cancer. In fact Mom told me Mike had one removed last winter. Is that true Mike?? Basal cells if lest untreated can be disfiguring, they spread in the skin only- outward . So They need to be removed quickly. best case scenario- she will have a few stitches. Worst case she will have to have some plastic surgery. I told her she needs to get rid of that Walker nose anyway! She will be fine- topical anaesthesia only. From her description they are using the latest technique which is called MOHS. they take tiny slices and flash freeze it and send it to the path right then. When the report comes back- ALL CLEAR. they begin to pull the skin together. Hope this is not to much info for anyone-Isn't modern medicine the best. Anyway thought all of you would like to take a deep breath this morning - she will be fine. Remember your faith and that is the opposite of being fearful!
LOVE YA!
