Hi Rose-mary and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn that you have been diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma. I can appreciate that you have questions concerning treatment options.

It is very difficult to say which treatment would be the better option.

As many factors can determine the outcome or success of treatments.

Both treatment options have their pros and cons.

I would recommend that you discuss this with your hospital specialist.

which may help you decide alongside advice from your specialist.

I hope reading this helps.

If you want to talk it  through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5 pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards
