Re: [fight together] New to group

Welcome! But I must apologize, what is SCC? It has been a really long day and
I am afraid I have gone brain dead, hopefully after I eat supper I will regain a
few brain cells.

I've just joined this group and haven't had time to read the archives
yet. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've just been diagnosed with
SCC on my forearm. I'm pretty confused right now because I've gotten
completely conflicting information from a few highly-regarded
(whatever that means--I'm never sure) dermatologists. Basically,
there's an anti-Mohs camp (they say, no, no one does Mohs on a first
time arm lesion) and a pro-Mohs (they say, yes, you can use other
methods, but Mohs has the best cure rate regardless of where the
lesion is located).

Have the docs in my town gone nuts or have others heard of this "war"?

Thanks,
Lynda in Arizona

Oh--sorry. I've been calling it by its initials in my head, so it was just automatic typing there. By SCC I meant sqaumous cell carcinoma. Thanks for the...
