Default Way off topic - Tree Canker? - Picture included - Anyone who does landscaping look here

Okay I have an oak tree that is about 10 feet from the back of the house and is well over 25 feet tall. Its trunk I would say is about 4-5 feet wide at the base and it leans slightly towards the house.

During the last hurricane season most of the branches came down and there are still a bunch left in the tree-top. In all it has very few green things growing on it at all.

I have read a bunch on tree canker and it looks to be a slow moving disease from what I am seeing but I think my tree now has it. I saw a few spots that look like -



What I need to know is the guy wants 500$ to pune it back or 1,100$ to remove it completely remove it. Do you think this canker issomething that would cause the tree to fail in the next year or so or do you think this is saveable.

The ones I have talked to said its ultimately my decision and they can't say but I feel thats ot giving me enough info. Does canker spread faster than I imagine it. Is this a tree I should worry about with it being so close to our house?

Any thoughts much appreciated.
