Hello@jakefix82 and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I see that you have connected with @mir123.

As she has said, you are doing some wise planning, in case chemotherapy and/or radiation is needed. When will you have the final biopsy report?

I look forward to hearing from you after your visit to the respite care facility. Will you post again?

My biopsy report indicates it’s basal cell carcinoma, thankfully not Merkel Cell. I’ve been searching for an answer to the following question and haven’t come up with anything -

Is it advisable to have Mohs surgery (as, will I get a good cosmetic result) on an area (left side of nose, near nostril) where scar tissue exists from Mohs surgery performed fifteen years ago for basal cell carcinoma? This may be a recurring basal cell carcinoma, since it’s almost in the same exact spot. Someone told me about SRT (superficial radiation therapy) instead of Mohs. I’m now 75 years old, which might make a difference. Because there’s scar tissue present, I’m wondering what to expect from Mohs surgery. My Mohs surgeon interned at Mayo Clinic…she comes recommended by my dermatologist.
