Skin Cancer

[Guest]

my husband has 3 lumps on his neck and 3 on the back of his head and complaind about headaches all the time he is afraid to go to the doctor because his dad died of skin cancer. what should i do or is his lumps nothing to worry about?

Get him to a doctor NOW. My husband had a small lump on his head we'd chalked up to an oddity (he bangs his head a lot at work) Long story short, he was just diagnosed with malanoma and it was excised. Prognosis is not the best, but so much is done with that kind of treatment, I remain hopeful. Early detection is best and I have to wonder the difference a month or two would have made.

As for his fears about his dad - major advances since then. The only sure thing is if he does nothing.

Best of luck and my prayers are with you.

The only way to know is to have him examined if you have kids maybe he will do that for them, good luck
