My mom battles it everyday.
She goes almost monthly for surgeries. She has had to have her whole pinky finger and part of her hand amputated and she also has it on her head and had a huge part removed and that part has healed nicely and not a large dent it was before. She has spots removed monthly.
My dad had to have a large part of his ear taken off and the plastic surgeon made it look like you can't even tell.
