Hi Laura, any update? Has your mom been scheduled for an appointment in the meantime? How is she doing?

Hi Colleen,
The original Mohs group called me this morning and told me that the lesion was too big for Mohs. Luckily they had referred us to a plastic surgeon which I thought was odd but I set up an appointment with him for 7/15. We found that his office works closely with a different oncologist - so they are working together to try to arrange the surgery. The plastic surgeons office told us last week that the surgery would be this week (7/22-7/26) or the week after. So...we seem to be getting closer but she still doesn't have an appointment. She's doing great - she's an amazing upbeat person who is now more focused on the upcoming football season than she is on cancer. My brother and I are the ones who are stressed! Mom is 93 and this was her working in her garden in April.
