@ocdogmom my husband has precancerous spots on his head. I have learned he does not need to continue having these precancerous lesions removed. He is 84 and has MCI. He said the procedure is very painful.
I would ask the dermatologist what the likelihood that basal cell cancer will kill your husband. I am thinking more about quality of life versus procedures that will not extend life.

@defleurs I agree about quality of life over any kind of procedure.I have decided that we are done with the dermatologist and now thankfully we are done with the oncologist as his last PET scan came back negative for the mantle cell lymphoma he had in 2024 and for which he received chemo that just about killed him. From now on it is comfort care only. He is in stage 6 one the FAST scale. I don't know how long he will be in this stage before he gets to stage 7 which is the last stage. This is all so sad. I finally went to see my psychologist today and will see her every week for the next month. She is helping me with the grief that I am feeling every day.
