Mohs surgery is kinda neat as the Derm Doc will carve it out and they have you stand by in the waiting room for the results, that is, if he got it all. If it was deeper than anticipated and another slice must be removed on the same visit, they will do that immediately so shouldn't have to make another visit. Cancer has visited me frequently. Soft tissue sarcoma (cancer of the nerves, muscle or tendons) 36years ago. Then starting in 2010, had prostate cancer, cancer of kidney which required a kidney to be plucked out and finally bladder cancer. This shit is getting old. I’ll probably croak of something other than cancer. Have found that as we get older, our chances increase of getting this shitty disease but there are a lot of us old farts that have gone through required treatments and are still here and enjoying life and I’ll be hitting 82 later this year. Guys, please get yourselves checked out if you feel anything out of the ordinary. As cancer diagnosis is NOT a death sentence.
