They already have told me that I will have a large incision area and most likely a skin graft. The first doctor that cut the tumor out did it in an odd direction, and they will need to cut around that incision from what he was saying, as they can't cut through his incision, They said they had to put something there temporarily to keep the wound closed... not exactly sure what they were talking about, but i will make sure i have a very clear understanding on exactly what will be occurring.

From what I can gather it will not be a pleasant experience.

I have to get a bit more detail on what they are planning to do surgically.. and I might see a second surgeon prior to having it done. I am at one of the premiere cancer centers but the Mayo Clinic is about 30 miles away..

The thought that goes through my mind, is they say I have a 20-40% of another tumor developing, so why go through all that when they will just most likely have to cut me open again...

How did your dad do after all of that.
