People have been doing this for a while now, people with no medical licensing. Just looking it up online and then going for it with a little clove and a wet towel.

I saw an episode of Bondi Vet, he removed a tumour from a goldfish then put superglue over the wound site.

People who have melanoma just get the tumors removed from their skin. They dont get chemo. Usually people with malignant (spreading) cancers have to get chemo.
