Thank you so much for this information. Most of my outbreaks of squamous cell cancers have been on my lower legs. I have been searching for alternative recommendations, so your information is timely. I appreciate knowing your experience, but am so sorry you have had to endure this long recovery period. I am going on my second year of continuous outbreaks. Two more MOHS procedures are scheduled for next week, and I know it will be weeks and weeks of wound care. It is an exhausting journey! My best to you for no further complications!

Just to add a comment regarding SRT, I ended up going to two Wound Centers, one in SC and later transferred to one near our home in Tennessee. When I entered treatment, both Wound Centers indicated that I was not alone; they were treating or had previously treated patients with non-healing ulcers in lower legs caused by SRT. The damaged caused by radiation made the injury much more difficult to heal compared to Mohs.

There is a wound care blog by Carolyn Fife entitled “Stop the Madness of Shin Radiation”, detailing radiation damage to lower legs

I wish you well as you deal with SCC
