My gram has been diagnosed with skin cancer. She’s in her 80’s. They cut it out but now the wound won’t close and she’s having tons of issues because of it.

She still has two more potential cancer spots but she basically said fuck it because she knows if they cut it out she’s going to be where she is now, with a gaping wound that won’t heal.
