What is better for treatment of basal skin cancer radiation or Mohs?

No, I am waiting for the biopsy results. I am concerned that she wants to use radiation which entails 3 visits to her per week for 7 weeks. I also see Mohs which is 1 day. I think I'd rather use Mohs as it is quicker. Have you heard which is better?

@mustsell Let's see what type of basal cell skin cancer it is, first. I would ask her the reasons behind her desire to use radiation, and how that treatment would be different from MOHS procedure.

I have had several MOHS procedures done. The most complicated one was a nodular basal cell located on my right collarbone, that had tentacles spread under the skin. It took 5 passes to remove all of it. I have a cool lightning strike looking scar as a result!

When will you get the biopsy results back?
