Hello -

I was just diagnosed yesterday with Basal Cell Carcinoma. yuck!

Searching the Internet, I have come across Superficial Radiation Therapy presented as an option instead of surgery.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Anyone used it? Opinions or advice?

Many thanks!

  • Hi Smith 456 One of the options I was offered by dermatologist was radition treatment, but when I saw Plastic surgeon he said I was too young I am 73 !!! he said that was for older people, so don't really know.  I don't think I would have chosen this option anyway.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
