I had posted about the problem with basel cell and Morhs because of alergy to ladicaine . Cacer is right under my eye .
I had appt. with Radiarion Oncology a couple days ago . They want to make a mask , give me radiation 5 days a wk. for 6 weeks. Said I may lose site of my eye, 'its so close ' and the bone may have to removed or it could cause another cancer to form . The chance for this to happen is small she said, but real.
I ask how will they know if the cancer is just on that one spot . What if it has spread under and around the eyeball . Didn't like the answer to that .
All this because they can't do the other treatment because of my alergy . Anyone have this trouble with treatment ?
Have you been to a dermatologist that's board certified? Basal Cell @ Mayo
Radiation - that's a lot of radiation. My hub had 33 appointments.
He was left with hearing damage as well as jaw/mouth damage. We're not sure how much more as he's 6 months out.
Not sure if I told you to look into Tomotherapy & Cyber knife?

Thank you so much for info . yes you told me about the others . I'm tired of fighting the dr.s for care . Take a pill and call me in a hundred years ,haha. Sure we will radiate you, even if we don't know where the hell it has spread or if it hasn't .
Get another opinion. Also, look into proton beam therapy for head and neck cancers. I believe it's also used for eye cancers.
