Invasive basal cell carcinoma

Hi,
I have been diagnosed with invasive basal cell cancer. It was removed off my back but it had grown outside the surgical border. We have heard opinions from more surgery to radiation to certain drug therapy. Has any one had success with any alternative treatment as with other health problems, my constitution is not to strong these days.

Thanks,
