Here's another update…

I was able to find a plastic surgeon who performs WLEs. He said that he was going to partner up with a local hospital. This partnership will expedite the timeline and allow them to work on my dad hopefully sometime next week. He indicated that a surgeon from the hospital will perform the SNB and then he will perform the WLE. The hospital surgeons seems to be pretty experienced.

yes, we're in a pretty crappy situation….. It's also tough that you can't do an WLE and then come back and do the SNB few weeks later.

so we're in a pretty tough situation. The original biopsy was performed on the 18 of Dec. We received his results on the Dec 7. I just spoke to his surgeon a few minutes ago and he does not want to perform the SNB. He only wants to proceed with the WLE in three day. If we look for another oncologist, we're probably going to lose another 2.5 weeks. Given that his biopsy was so long ago, does that also put him at risk?
