Getting GentleCure (IM-SRT) for my 2 Basal Cell Carcinomas

@cleveland26 Thanks for your reply. Here I can get the SRT at the facility here. Did they use the wand to visualize the cancer each time you had a treatment? I'm about to write the Dermatology practice and tell them I do not want to be cut. That I would like the SRT at their facility. Is there a specific way you asked for this treatment vs Mohs? Right now I can see that I will also have a small crater type scar tip of nose. The sidewall of the nose biopsy site is smooth as can be. So 20 sessions for basal cell which is sidewall of nose . Tip is the squamous cell in situ. Was yours also in situ?

@2buddy Yes, my bcc was in situ . (Ha, I had to Google that to see what in situ meant!) Yes, they used the wand before each treatment. No, I did not ask for a specific way for treatment basically because I didn't know anything.
I chose the SRT over Mohs surgery for several
reasons. I was told that after the Mohs surgery that I would be sent down the street to have a plastic surgeon close the incision, after having been administered general anesthesia. Not knowing how long either procedure would take, I could have had a problem with transportation. My wife no longer drives at night.
I am satisfied with the whole thing and glad I don't have to drive into Tacoma every day for a while. I wish you all the best.
