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

@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.

@cleveland26 I knew what in situ meant because I was an RN so familiar with the term. Did your assuming Medicaire pay for the wand as in my google searches saw that right now the wand use is being reviewed to see if it's going to be paid for by insurance. Said that some facilities have the $1500 to $2000 Wand not being charged to patients till this has either been approved or not by Medicare. How long ago did you have your procedure?
Can't believe you would be given general anesthesia and been expected to drive to another facility with a fresh open wound !
Wrote the Dermatologist office and said I do not want to be cut. So will see what the office says tomorrow.
