Treating Basal cell carcinoma   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2028 of 2180 |
Wondering if anyone has heard of any treatments for basal cell
carcinoma, invasive type other than MOHS. The doctor is calling for
surgery and can't tell me any tests that will tell how far its gone.
Basically its cut a bit and see then cut more if needed. I'm terrified
that could mean disfigurement. The place is on my cheek but there is
another place they are bioposying that is on my nose.

So I'm looking for any ways they can tell how far its spread and any
ways of stopping it or shrinking it so there is less damage done.

Any ideas?
