Prayers and best wishes to them. My personal experience is that squamous cell is hard to spot because it looks different in many people. I had a girlfriend with a dent the size of a nickel on her cheek. Mohs surgery took care of it, but the dermatologist said inaction can still be dangerous.
Oddly enough, inaction is the recommended course of action in prostate cancer in many cases.

He’s got it on the inside skin of his face, nose and throat.
How he managed that I’ve no idea.

I had Mohs on my beak a few years ago with immediate reconstructive surgery. Now, you can’t tell anything was done. Was the basal cell variety. Key is to get checked by good dermatologist at least once a year or sooner if you discover new skin issues. Not fun but not horrible by any stretch.
