My husband is covered in Moles

Seriously!! Trevor had another doctor appt Friday. He was scheduled to have more of his skin and tissue tested around the mole we had removed to see how far the cancer has spread. While in the procedure room at our doctors office, the doctor determined that the job was too big for him to tackle. And that we would have to go to a specialist. He will have to have a procedure done called MOHS. It is the procedure that I actually thought he was going to have on Friday. The doctor will cut away small pieces of tissue and look at them through a microscope until they don't find anymore cancer. If the area is too large, he will have to have radiation therapy. Also, if the area is too large, he will have to have a skin graft. This will be on June 11th. I am terrified!! In more mole news, Friday while we were at the doctors, he had more of his moles looked at to see if any more look suspicious. The one on the side of his head above his ear was removed on Friday and sent in to have a biopsy done. We will know more in about ten days. I just keep hoping and praying that we are almost done with all these doctor visits. The doctor told Trevor that is was strange that Trevor would already have these issues because he was so young, and that we are going to have to monitor these for the rest of our lives.
