The dermatologist just called. We went earlier this week -like 3 days ago, and he did a biopsy of the growth on his side. They told us it would take up to two weeks to get results. But they called this morning.
I鈥檓 not sure if that quick response should scare me even more.
So they didn鈥檛 really tell me much about the significance of this diagnosis.
We go in again on March 3rd (that seems like too long to wait to me) to have the whole thing removed.
She told me that there shouldn鈥檛 be any need for chemotherapy.

Anyone have experience with this?

Friend just had two patches removed, one pretty big and deep, but they got it all. No chemo, no further worries, but I guess they had to get in there and see how deep and get the pathology done to be sure they got it all. Pretty slow train to get it all done too, not sense of urgency, but maybe that comes with this type of skin cancer. Moral of this story is don't wait if a patch of skin just won't heal up, and get those annual checkups at the dermatologist. I go next week. Friend is all good now, hurt a good bit but skin has grown back. Hope it goes as well for your Husband.

Squamous skin cancers are very common and are usually limited to just removing it.
No worries.
He may have an incision w/ sutures after depending on how much skin around it they need to take.
My sister is very fare skinned and burned a ton as a kid she has many (like over 100) spots removed, and NONE required additional treatment other than going back and getting cleaner edges.

My husband had 6 cancers removed, 2 of them squamous cell the rest basal cell. The removal itself takes a lot of time, they remove it layer by layer checking for clear margins. It was a 3 hour wait for one of his procedures.
