It had been quite a long time since I had seen my Father, even though we lived quite close to each other. I was busy with work & raising my family. I decided one day to stop by to see him and I was in SHOCK . He had a one pound tumor on the back of his left hand. He worked for the transit authority for over 20 years & he always drove with his left hand out the bus window. By doing that he developed squamous cell cancer. I KNEW I had to do something to save him. My Father was fearful of hospitals & would not go to a Doctor for this tumor, he thought if he did they would cut off his arm and truthfully, I thought the same thing. I finally got him into the hospital and the surgery was 2 and 1/2 hours. The surgeon expressed to me that this tumor was an anomaly. My Father was in the hospital for 7 weeks as he developed sepsis from this tumor & had to have IV antibiotics everyday. When he was released from the hospital I had to sterile dress his hand each day for 9 weeks. He went back to the surgeon & you could not even tell he had surgery on that hand. I do believe in my HEART of HEARTS that he would have passed from this cancer. The Doctor told me my Father was so close to death, this tumor was taking everything away from him, all his nutrients and etc. The Doctor got the entire tumor & Dad was cancer free after the surgery & lived a full life. If you suspect a sore anywhere on your body get it checked out by a Doctor.
