Skin Cancer removal

Bucis

Hi everyone, I'm a senior from Canada and was just informed by my Dermatologist that I have some cancer on the face, just above my right temple.  It has to be removed.  I do have the Pathology report from back home that confirms this.

Can the Sousa hospital do this?  How would I go about getting this arranged?  It should come out as soon as possible.

Any assistance I could get would be greatly appreciated. 

Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish.

My recommendation is to seek that treatment in Santo Domingo.

I have heard good things about the private clinic /hospital. There are more great hospital/clinics for cancer treatment,  others here may way in

Hi again, does this Doctor actually cut out the cancer and stitch the wound?
