Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 94 yr old father has Melanoma cancer on his nose. he went to the veterans hospital where a NPL did a procedure to remove quite a bit on the right side nose. Then they did the biopsy. Now they want to send him on a bus to Boston for surgery and grafting. We are all really upset that she did that in the office without consulting with our family. I could not be there that day. He is so stressed about it, we do not want to put him through it. A friend who is a homeopathic dr. said to just let it heal. that he will die of something else before he does of the cancer? isn t there something less invasive to do for his age?
The only cure for melanoma is to remove the cancer to the clear skin then acording to stadifications he will fo radiation or chemio . Sure it will not cure by itselfe.
