Hi,
This is a forum I never thought I would be joining. I was diagnosed last week with a BCC on the back of my leg. Its the size of a penny and has been there for at least 2 years. As it never bothered me, I ignored it, thinking it was exema! Turns out it wasnt.
So gp gave me a cream called imiquimod that I have to put on 5 x a week for 6 weeks. I havnt started this yet as i work at a school and we break up next week so thought I would wait till then.
I want advice on how best to approach this. Ive read that the side effects can be quite brutal, flu like symptoms, nausea, fatigue etc. Is there anything I can do to ease these symptoms? Im only allowed paracetamol as i use blood thinners so no ibrufen, asprin etc.
Has anyone here had the same treatment and how did it effect you? You can be brutal & honest as i would rather be prepared.
Ive just bought myself a hot tub & was so looking fwd to spending my summer hols in it ... typical!
Thanks for reading x
