Fluouracil

Hi . How much longer do you have to use it? The treatment time varies from person-to-person, so if you think you should be done, send pictures to your doctor and ask. Here is a study from the National Institutes of Health that might give you some inspiration to get through the rest of treatment: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/879810/.

Thank you, this has felt like such a lonely journey.

Hi Pamela, I had the same treatment last month. You're right, Lori, it is isolating. I had to apply the Fluor cream twice a day for 3 weeks during which time I endured the burning and the chronic bleeding. I couldn't go anywhere. My doctor told me of all the places to do this treatment, the lips are the worse, which was validating but at the same time, discouraging. I had no idea I had so many non cancerous skin growths, varrucas, on my lower lip. He said I had at least 20! All I could think of was... get these things off, and each day I was using the treatment, meant that I was that much closer to better health. Today, he said my lip looks really good, but Missy be monitored. It's good and healthy that you're sharing with others which I just now started doing. I think because I was in so much shock at the
diagnosis. The more you share, the more powerful your voice which builds inner confidence and resolve. Prayer helps too.
