Did what had to be done...

Myron had surgery at the Moh's center at Duke. He had a skin cancer lesion on his chin which needed to be surgically removed. The Moh's center is nationally renowned and he had the surgery there on Friday, March 7th. Moh's surgery is surgery that manages to remove the least amount of healthy tissue while removing all the cancerous tissue. Once all the cancerous tissue is removed, the surgeon decides on how best to reconstruct with minimal disfiguring scarring. The entire day was spent at the Moh's center. Myron went back and forth 5 times for a total of 4 surgical removals and the plastic surgical fix.
After initial surgical pain, managed with Percocets, Myron is now pain free and able to get around just fine. Stitches come out on the 14th and then in a few months he will look like Harrison Ford with a rakish scar... LOL
