I go back to have another Mohs surgery on my face in a couple of weeks...another scar, another life battle with Squamous...no biggie IMO
However, I am concerned about another spot that my dermatologist refused to biopsy and will leave that to the Mohs surgeon. The spot to be removed is on my right cheek, near where my short sideburns meets no other hair or whiskers. No problem - easy access, easy fix. The spot I'm worried about though is in the inside corner of my eye...not the eyeball, but in the corner of my eyelid. I will know more after my surgery for the other part. I just don't like knives around my eyeball, especially since Mohs surgery usually goes way beyond the spot to be removed in order to "get it all" :hurt:
My question: Has anyone ever tried "Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy" (Gentle Cure) that has been advertised on TV lately. It claims to heal Basal and Squamous cell cancer without Mohs surgery with a 99+% of success. I was wondering if any of you guys who routinely go to skin specialists have heard of it...or better, tried it

Sorry Ric I have not. As most know I have had 4 surgeries for melanoma and just had another 'suspicious'mole taken off the top of my head for a biopsy. Thank God it was benign but it is still scary stuff. Seems everytime I go to the dermatologist I am getting something removed. That's I go every 3 months. I also go for an eye exam every year as I have told that behind the eyeball is a site melanoma can form.
I think your case is different Ric and I wish you well at it. I personally don't understand why the dermatologist doesn't want to do a test beforehand.
Again I'm sure everything will be fine.
Ric, I don't know anything about that but I hope you have a perfect outcome.

Same here. Best of luck with it Ric, and please keep us updated.
