ok as an asian fob who married a white husband, idk how big of a deal skin cancer is. he said its a quarter sized tumor on his neck. he’s getting a 45 min surgery in a month. yes ill be nicer to him and stuff as i would if he has the flu but hes treating it like its a pimple. is he downplaying it or am i over-reacting?
Bruh 😑
It all depends. I’ve lost friends to stage 4 melanoma that looked like 2-3 pimples. Please support your husband.
Quarter sized tumor on skin feels pretty serious.
Not sure what the Asian fob has to do with this.. Asians get cancer too.. This is probably him dealing
He may be downplaying it as a way to comfort you. My husband does that type of stuff to me all the time because I tend to panic.
Hey, thank you for this
Carcinoma or melanoma? The former is pretty manageable, the latter more serious.
They should do a quick biopsy to see if melanoma (or less serious squamous/basal cell carcinoma). Why have to wait a whole month to know?
This appt took 6 mo to schedule. They sound super busy.
Hard to tell but if the procedure is scheduled in a month probably not that serious. Doctors usually know what can wait and what can’t
True, could just be a fatty tumor.
He could be fine or he could be dead in 18 months, ask the doctor.
Sounds semi serious
