I am 79 and had MOHs surgery on the top of my head in November. Unfortunately, the SCC had developed into a tumor about the size of a misshaped quarter and was painful by the time I was able to have it removed. I thought it was an infection. This was done in the surgeon's office and after two try's they got it all. The surgery and recovery were really no big deal and a big relief. No one should have second thoughts about having this done. After the surgery, the tumor was genetically biopsied and came back category 2 A meaning an intermediate risk of return. the surgeon recommended adjuvant radiation. The margins were clean. I had a CT scan to look at the lymph nodes with perfect results. I decided to get a second opinion before engaging in radiation therapy every day for 5 weeks. Again another 3 mo. wait with another dermatologist. In retrospect I should have gone to a large cancer specialty center in the Boston area. Any advise?
