"It's not going be like a life-threatening thing right now," said Haener, who was sporting a small bandage on his face during Friday's practice session. "I have to get a different procedure done on my face," he said."So we're just trying to take the necessary steps in order to see how long I can wait until I have to get that procedure done."
"With these skin cancer things, if you wait, things spread, so I've just got to get it taken care of," he said.Foster Moreau
