Thanks so much! It ended up that I had my surgery on Friday. The tumor has(d) a lot of spindly legs coming off of it so that MOHS would not work. I now have a 2+" incision (closed) on my right forearm and am waiting for the pathology report. As we all know, the waiting is the worst. The pain from surgery subsides but the agony of not-know doesn't until one knows. Again, that you for your caring and thoughtfulness.

Thanks so much Colleen. You are such a good director. And, yes, the pathology report came back with clean margins and no additional treatment recommended. My surgeon's Fellow explained why it took so long to get the report back. It seems AFX is mostly a cancer of exclusions. If it isn't Melanoma, Sarcoma etc. and it has a stain that says it could be AFX, then it is AFX.
