[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents mid-eighties and is getting pre-cancerous lesions removed quarterly. Healing is slow and takes a lot out of them. If you’ve had a parent in a similar situation did you start to spread them out a bit more? [/quote] I thought MOHS was an outpatient procedure, local anesthetic. That doesn’t sound too onerous. Though everything is more onerous when you’re over 80.[/quote] Last time he went in he was there for 7 hours, wiped him out for days and he’s already frail. [/quote] They go layer by layer through the skin and keep digging until the layers are cancer-free. This can leave a very big wound, especially for someone who heals slowly. So sad to hear that doctors are overprescribing it.[/quote]
