Efudex vs Bascellex

Hi - I've recently been diagnosed with 2 basal cell carcinoma, and 2 patches of Actinic Keratosis on my face. The carcinomas will be removed, and I was prescribed Efudex for the AK. 

As this is in very short supply, my GP has prescribed Bascellex instead, which is to applied 1x daily, 3x per week, for 4 weeks.

Just wondering whether anyone else used Bascellex - and how they found it?

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I haven't had treatment for AK but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I've searched the group for posts about Basellex and found that  posted 6 months ago about this cream. I've 'tagged' her into my reply to you and hopefully she'll pop on to tell you about her experience.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
