Thank you for your concern and went to another doctor for a second opinion, but am second thoughts about that, instead of radiation on two areas (1st opinion), they want to perform surgery in all 3 locations (1 on scalp and 2 on each side of my face (cheek area), which is of great concern, for obvious cosmetic reasons vs. the Efudex, a topical chemo cream. Am scheduled for this procedure in mid-January, 2025. Stating the obvious, this is of great concern. Any thoughts/suggestions?
