I've had 3 removed 2 different times. I had to laugh the 1st time as the Doctor looked at it and said come back in 6 months and we'll review it. The damn thing was on my waist under my belt line and was just a pain. I told the Doctor to just cut it out. He goes 'are you sure' when I asked why he 'said most people can't handle having parts of their body removed'. I told him what the hell if it's evil cut it off. The Doctor told me I was unusual. Hell I already knew that.
Praying for the best for the wife.
