I recently had a SCC tumor removed from the top of my head. It was originally diagnosed as seborrheic keratosis and treated with topical cortisone. Two years later it became quite painful, raised, and about the size of a quarter. I had Mohs surgery with clean margins and genetic testing resulting in a 2 or intermediate threat of a return. My surgeon is recommending adjunctive radiation and I'm reluctant. I'd like to hear from others like you about your experience.
