Surgery

The patient ready for what ended up being about a three-hour surgical procedure (after 4 hours of teaching and a 3 hour commute)

Grace has had her fair share of "skin issues" over the years... her first experience with Mohs surgery came 11 years ago, when they removed a squamous cell from her other cheek in Jacksonville.  We are thankful that (at least thus far) all of the malignancies have been of the type that could be eliminated without the chemotherapy and/or radiation required by more invasive types of skin cancer.

The patient is amazing... planning to teach her afternoon class less than 24-hours after having her face carved up!
