Shall we all share our treatments and see how long our treatments kept us free of return of symptoms? I am having MOHS surgery late in Oct of 08. there does seem to be several treatments and an assortment of return times. None of which keep it from coming back. Has anyone not had it come back. If so, how long, which treatment and where/whom?? Marilyn newly dx 3 months ago. July 08

Bither, you might want to talk to Mruiz. She might need encouragement to be more diligent on doing her recommended treatment. Any treatment might be better than doing nothing! I wonder in what part of the country we all reside. I live in Oregon, but spent most of my adult life in Calif. I am 68 years old. Marilyn B

Hi, Bither, I do not know what Optical Bx means. But I will google it and see if I can find out. I think their are two men on our site. One of our posters is writing for her hubby. So Dave and Mark are guys. regards empd.

I googled optical biopsy Its a fiber optical light. Used for early detection of cancer. you can read some of the answers under the google search. Sounds interesting. I will read more, but wanted to get back to you first. :^) take care. Say empd folks, I was talking to our American cancer society volunteer yesterday. She is trying to find a way for us to be funded to try to find more of us. yeah. I have to call her back, she called last night and left a message with my husband about a grant. maybe this will help us. We are rare birds you know. :^))
