What is better for treatment of basal skin cancer radiation or Mohs?

A terrible experience, @itchyrich! But I'm amazed that your eyelid has healed so well.
I've had several facial Mohs surgeries but nothing like what you went through.
My last one, exactly one year ago, was on my lip & still bothers me daily; about 1/4 of
my upper lip is gone.
I've often wondered what might happen if a patient had to have Mohs on their eyelid or very close to their eye, now i know!
You're a brave guy & I'm glad to hear everything worked out for you.

I'm catching up on emails. When I originally read your message I thought I would be able to easily find some photos. Not so. Anyway, I've now found them. The first one is immediately after the Mohs surgery. It's hard to see, but the lower eyelid is pretty much gone. The second one is the day after the reconstruction surgery, which was the bigger deal. The eye was sewn shut for six weeks.
