ENT docots visit
On our way to Dad's ENT appointment.
Dad is in panic mode. Bribed him with Martie's banana pancakes if he sees the Dr. today. It worked. He settled down some.
Dr. Moulton-Barrett, talked to my Dad,not at him or only to us. We had to adjust so we could see what he was drawing in regards to my Dad's ear etc. He explained everything to Dad. And told Dad that his lymph nodes hear his head are good. The cancer hasn't spread to them.
The 2 scalp lesions will need skin grafts (from his upper arm) stapled and protected from outside touching. His ear, well that one will be a little more detailed. Going to slide cartilage from lower ear to upper ear so his ear will look pretty normal, just a bit smaller than the other one. Dad needs to see his primary doctor for a pre-op check, for the surgery. And maybe something to help ease the panic and distress that he goes though. I am to work on getting the top "scaby" stuff off and his hair cut short. All will be good. We got this.
Dad shook the doctors hand on our way out. Surgery is set for July 22.
