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

Posted by pianist3 @pianist3, Aug 21, 2025

Hi, everyone! So, I'm in the process of scheduling my treatment for my 2 basal cell carcinomas (they are above my lip.) Anyway, after much research and also being terrified of needles and Mohs surgery (I can't use epinephrine and I have severe anxiety), I've decided to go with GentleCure (IM-SRT). My doctor says I'm a good candidate for it. I'm hoping and praying that I can get through the treatments easily. I will be bringing my stuffed doggie. 🙂 Has anyone had this treatment? Please, please send me only positive comments and anything helpful to make this process easier and more gentle on my skin. I'm reading up on taking more healthy foods to heal my skin, collagen building supplements (maybe) and lots of prayer!! I'm just hoping and praying for no pain, no burning, no radiation sickness, etc. I'm praying for you all!!! Thank you for any encouragement and kind words...life is not always easy...but, I will certainly be wearing more sunscreen and wearing it daily from now on!! Love you guys!!! Mia 🙂

Yes Medicaire may not think the wand is necessary but I also do. I read that the cost out of pocket for the wand is between $1500 & $2000. I would pay this. But evidently the hospital if can get the PA to refer me there they know how to circumvent the cash payment and get it paid in full.
