New on her not new to skin cancer

I was diagnosed with a stage 1 Melanoma 10 years ago
Successfully removed with surgery
Last year I was diagnosed with. Basal Cell Carcinoma on my face
After a discussion with my specialist I opted to use the chemo cream Fluorouracil Efudix 5% Cream
I was told it would make my sling go very red and sore and eventually burns away the skin cancer
I was advised to use it for six weeks I am now three weeks in and nothing is happening at all
Has anyone else used this cream and did it work for you

  1. Hi . Have you talked with your doctor about the lack of reaction? We are not medical experts, but I have seen posts here from people who noticed no change until near the end of their treatment. Hopefully, you will see progress soon. Keep us posted, if you don't mind. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
