Hi @grammato3
There is a dermatologist and radiation tech in the group I used for the Mohs surgery. The consensus of the group is to get a cure by actual tissue examination at time of surgery given the possible devastation if margins arent clear. This friday marks 2 weeks and I have been well healed by day 7. After day 3, I could move, bend as usual but was to avoid sunlight on incision until after a week. The plastic/reconstruction surgeon did a beautiful job and most people cant tell I had surgery. When I was thinking about pros-cons of each procedure, I also felt that 3 trips a week = 9 hrs of time traveling back/forth x6.5 weeks…easy to have something come up and miss an appointment. I take care of my mom, so time is valuable given the current demands on me. I am very happy with the surgical choice and would probably only opt for the radiation therapy if I weren't a surgical candidate.
Thank you for checking back on me!
