Hi, I was not sure where to put this , so General it is. A friend thru marriage resently was at my sons house helping him do some work and his ear started bleeding. They though he bumped it , but he had a lumpy thing on his ear. He went to the Doctor and he removed it and said " alls well ". Well a few days later he calls and says the lab says skin cancer and you need to see a specialist.That Doctor said surgery to remove a bigger area , will do some plastic to make ear look ok, and need to do surgery on neck to remove some lymph nodes. Now the family is taking this all like its nothing. I see red flags because of all of us needing the lymph nodes removed to see whats what. I seem to be the only one worried.I know two people with skin cancer and they never had this. there cancer was on the face though not the ear area. It does seem like this is being treated more like Oral Cancer. They did do everything in less than two weeks which is good.They say they will tell him the results in two weeks on the lymph nodes. Does this seem normal for skin cancer? I know it is all squamous cell. Maybe I am over reacting because I have had cancer in the head area??? Anyone have a guess or opinion on why this was?
