Prayers/thoughts, Please!

Fortunately pre-cancerous growths on the face of older peole is quite common and if pre-caucerous are usually temoved with liguid nitrogen. If he id decide to biopsy the probable diagnosis will be an actinic keratosis. Hope for that it's very treatable. The other is a basal cell carcinoma and that is removed with Mohn surgey with a 97-99% cure rate. Others are a possibility but a trained dermatologist wouls easily identify these are cancerous not pre-cancerous. Hope this eases your mind.
 
Thank you for the great info, Frontier.

I feel sorta stupid posting NOW, (in my time of need), as I have not been active on the forum in SUCH A LONG TIME....for that I feel like a real jerk. Having said that, I am asking once again, for thoughts/prayers, as I received a call yesterday from my Mother saying that my Aunt, (her Sister), suffered a heart attack and was not expected to make it through (Tuesday) night. So, my Mother flew out last night, along with my stepdad, to see her before she had passed earlier today. I have 4 cousins by her, 3 of whom live in Florida. The oldest (of the 3), is a year older than I, going to 40yo. As well she leaves behind 8 grandkids. Thanks for listening!

Bob, I'm sorry to hear that news! Thinking of you....
 
For those of you that know me, I am not 'that close' to my Father. However, I do give him credit, over the past recent years, he has tried to rebuild our relationship.

That being said, he calls me 2 times a week, to 'check in/check up' on how I am doing. Today no exception. HOWEVER, in addition to wanting to know how I was doing, he informed me that he had gone to the doctor's/dermatologist-(a first I had heard of this), and that he had some scrapings taken off his face, and that the dr had informed him that they are/were pre-cancerous.

I thank you for letting me post this!

Your friend

Sending you and your family good thoughts! Please give your dad a hug from me.
