Please help. Just found this on my dad's back.

[sprigatito]

My dad's partner died of cancer a few days ago, he and I were with her when she died, and I've brought him home with me until the funeral (and probably permanently). He's got Alzheimer's and his partner was his carer. He's been looking pained and twisting his shoulder, he said it's just a spot, but I made him show me his back and found this. It looks just like the squamous cell carcinoma he's had removed before, only it's enormous. He's lost weight and is pale and more vague and breathless than usual, but I thought it was just grief

This is really fucking bad, isn't it? He survived stage 4 lymphoma in 2017 and has a heart condition. I have a doctor calling me back from 111, but should I just take him to A&E?

I’ve been watching this thread from the sidelines since you started it. Didn’t want to comment as it didn’t look good and didn’t want to give you false hope. So I am so so pleased to read that it’s nothing sinister! What a relief, it really is the best news!!!

Happy news OP!
Wishing you and your Dad well, with happier days ahead.

Throughout the whole ordeal that you and your family have been through, all the ups and downs, the uncertainty and frustrations, the pure fear at times - the one that has stood out and not wavered one tiny bit, is the absolute love and care you have shown for your Dad.
I, for one, have been truly humbled by your love and devotion to him and his care.
You are one amazing daughter @sprigatito
I hope you and your family can relax a little bit this weekend.
❤️💐

Woohoo!!! Really pleased for you @sprigatito . Hope you're feeling a bit better too.

Your update made me smile, I'm so relieved for you!

I'm going to disagree with everyone on th3 don't go to a and e mantra. Go - my sibling was misdiagnosed / ignored/ delayed by his GP for 10 months. It was only appearing at a and e that got him into the system and actually treated by a junior.

If it wasn't for a and e my sibling would drill be arguing the toss with his GP.

That's an amazing update. I'm so pleased (and relieved) for you all.

Jeezo what is with people who don't read updates! It's almost 2 months since the thread was started ffs.
