Atypical Fibroxanthoma

I have not had lung cancer, but in 2022 I had Mohs surgery for aytypical fibroxanthoma on my cheek.
It started as sort of a small red nodule. Now in my 80s, as child I had freckles. So each year the dermatologist zaps multiple spots on my face and nose that are pre cancer. My mother, brother, and sister all had skin cancer. So I was not surprised with the diagnosis.

My Dad had atypical fibroxanthoma removed from his back as a small mole which after many years started bleeding. Roll forward a year he then has lung metastases which were biopsied as sarcoma. They refer to Sarcoma primary as of unknown origin yet I question the initial diagnosis of AFX and if this was always a Sarcoma...

@brita, did you have to have any further treatment after Mohs surgery? How are you doing now?
