I don't think he has the pathology report yet. Does it normally take over two weeks to get the results? My parents were a little vague on what exactly happened. My said he had Mohs done, but like I said, he was a really big scar on his side, so I'm not entirely sure what he had done. Maybe the doctor mentioned Mohs but they did wide excision instead?

Thanks, your answer helps a lot. I could barely find any information on melanomas and Mohr surgery, except that it's typically used for the more common types of skin cancer, which doesn't help at all. Does Mohr surgery typically have a big scar? It's possible I got the surgeries mixed up- my dad wasn't entirely clear, because they are trying to keep me from worrying. Thinking on it more, I think he had a biopsy, then Mohr surgery, and then maybe excision? He has a really big scar on the side of his chest, around his rib cage.
