I had a biopsy under genersl anesthesia. Actually quite easy. How old is your dad (I’m 78). Is he in good health? What hospital are you going to? I’ve found the doctors here at Northwestern in Chicago to be very helpful. They will certainly tell you if they think surgery would be risky fir your dad. Best of luck to you. It’s all very scary, zi know, but cancer treatments now are so much better than in the past.
