After removal of numerous Bcc’s been referred for medication treatment taking Erivedge. Has anyone any experience of taking this medication
Thanks
Mine was my back I’ve got one on my bust at the min I’ve had non on my legs or arms I’ve had one side of face in my hair line and the one in my head is just above my ear my sister has had 2 and my maternal cousin has had an Scc
Sorry... i went to the docs about 10yrs ago and the dismissed it but atarted to get them on my back then leg and arms etx plua one above my eyebrow. I went back in march and they dismissed me again so i went private. I couldnt believe it when they said they wanted to do 8 biopsies. They were all cancer abd some had infiltrated including the one on my face. In the end i had 9 cut out under general but wouldnt let him touch my face as it would have left my brow higher than the other so i saw a conaultant radiotherapist. He said radiotherapy was unsuitable but referred me to the marsden as he was concerned about how many i had as i had more. If id known what i know now i would never have let the plastic surgeon touch me.
Sounds similar! The one one my bust grew to 2 inches i cant believe they diamissed it. They gave me emolient cream!
I had the same with the doctor she kept saying it was a wart on my back it was after my sister had hers removed I went back and insisted I was referred to dermatology and then everything went from there so been under them now over 20 years and The Christie’s for the last 6 months so just seeing how things go now
Well best of luck with it all. So what right for you. What i will say is that the ones i have are looking better already.
Take care and let me know how you go x
