prayers for Dad

Dad has had some melanoma, no big deal. They freeze or cut it off, send him on his way.
He just went to the Dr again and had some more. They removed some, froze some and gave him a cream that will kill and destroy "pre-cancer cells".

They said it would burn some, if he had any of those cells. He put it on his face as he was told, and the bags under his eyes began to burn. They blistered and scabbed over and (he is on cumadin) started to have bleeders. He went to Dr today because it was soo bad. They almost panicked, said that was not suppose to happen.
They had to inject Novocain, debrief the scabs and bleeders and cauterize an inch and a half strip across both cheeks and nose, just below the eyes. :sick:

He is a hurting puppy tonight

Dale:

Prayers for your Dad and all the family (+). A friend of mine has melanoma as well. It can be a long process.
