Has anyone had Mohs Surgery?

Question:
Has anyone had Mohs Surgery, if so what were the results?

My daughter, has been diagnosed with skin cancer, on her nose and Mohs Surgery was recommended.

Dr. Spencer specializes in Mohs surgery, an outpatient procedure for removing skin cancers that has a 99-percent success rate.

The procedure is based on reviewing microscopic slides during the surgery to determine if all cancerous cells have been removed. If any malignancy remains, the procedure is repeated until all the cancer is eliminated.


Answer:
Moh's is fine, it just is NOT as successful as the dermatologists claim.

Skin cancer needs either 1) good surgery or 2) good radiotherapy.

Bad surgery means radiotherapy as well, and bad radiotherapy means surgery as well.

Personally, I'd go for good radiotherapy every time.
