Info on Superficial Radiation Treatment for BC

My sister's dermatologist recommended Mohs for a deep bc on her upper arm. The downside is that she will not be allowed to do very much with that arm for a number of weeks. My sister is a widow and lives by herself with a very active puppy.

I am wondering if anyone here has done the SRT and can share their experience? Thank you.

  1. thank you for reaching out and trying to gather more information for your sister. This article shares some of the pros and cons of SRT https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/pros-cons-superficial-radiation-therapy. We have a number of articles also written by Rachel, who is a certified radiation therapist, that you can peruse here https://skincancer.net/author/rachelward. I hope you find this information helpful while determining the best treatment option for your sister. All my best, Julie (team member)
