Thank you for the additional information and tagging people who have gone through it @colleenyoung.

My mother in law arrived on Tuesday. We were able to go to JSP and start the process for insurance coverage, which they automatically approved and gave her coverage for the next 30 days. They were able to do a quick exam and prescribed her medication for her eye to give her some comfort. She is scheduled to go in on Thursday of this week for further evaluation.

She has been dealing with the news pretty well. Just trying to keep her head up high and moving forward.

In 2023 I developed a small pea size spot on my shoulder. It was removed and tested and found to be sebaceous carcinoma. A couple weeks later I had MOHS surgery and they removed more of the surrounding tissue. Since then, I have had follow up visits with the Dermatologist and everything has been fine.
Sebaceous carcinoma can be linked to a genetic condition and I had gene testing and was found negative for that particular gene defect.
I have not seen much mentioned in Mayo Connect on this subject as it is pretty rare.
My diagnosis and surgery was at Mayo in Minnesota.
Sure hope your mother in law's care goes well. Let us know.
Thanks
