So just to bump this up. I took my dad in to have the growth removed, I guess they tore out a 8 inch tumor or whatever you call it. I tried to bribe the doctor into giving him some botox injections because I thought it would be hilarious, but the doctor looked at me like I farted in church and walked away.
They sent the growth away for testing. We found out today it was Lentigo, but they feel confident that they got it before it had spread any further, so he's in the clear which is a relief.
However he now has to go in fairly regularly for the next year or so to be monitored.
Big relief all around since he had decided and told me over coffee that if it had spread at 80 years old he wasn't interested in getting the cancer treated.
This was all fortunate because he was aware enough to get something checked as soon as things didn't look right.
Now he just has to go in on Tuesday to get the stitches pulled out, I offered to do it for him for $50.00, but he graciously declined.
