Getting GentleCure (IM-SRT) for my 2 Basal Cell Carcinomas
Melanoma & Skin Cancer | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I have a squamous cell carcinoma under my nose and above my lip. They told me I must do mohs surgery. They did not give me any other option. I decided to research on my own and found Gentle Cure. I made an appointment and was told I was a candidate for this treatment. My research showed it has been around since 2016 and more than 50,000 people had the treatment. My surgery is scheduld for January 15th and I must make a big decision. The surgeon showed me how he was going to cut and it was a large area. Does anyone know anyone who had this trearment?
