Suggest Treatment For Skin Cancer
Hi,We leave in Langley, BC. My husband has been diagnosed with skin cancer. He is going to Glover Medical, Langley, BC. His doctor is Dr. Matthews, Ronald Bruce. He had a little procedure - a peace removed from top of his head and sent for a biopsy. Today he went there for the results and to have the stitches removed. The doctor (was dr. Sumani today) told him he needs another surgery in a month or two because it s not clean enough. I think my husband needs to be send to see a specialist (oncologist) and get the full blood test and furder treatment, not to wait one or two months for the next procedure from the walking clinik. I am looking for your opinion!

If the result of the biopsy does show skin cancer, then you should not wait at all for the second surgery, leave alone for a month. The cancer will increase several times in this period and may spread to other parts when it will be beyond cure. So, time is of essence. Immediately show him to a cancer surgeon.
