I just found this conversation and I thank you all for your posts. I too, am struggling with SCC and have had several excisions on my legs with two more coming up in two weeks. I also just found one on my forearm and am having it removed as well. I am highly active and do not appreciate all the stitches. But being fair skinned and a childhood with too much sun, as someone previously posted, this is the price we are now paying.

My derm tried to convince me to do the RT route but insurance wouidn't pay for it and it would be $12,000 out of pocket so I opted for the old fashioned way...excision. After reading all of the comments, I am glad I did not go the RT route!

Good luck everyone and pass the sun screen!
