Beyond Mohs

After my brother had surgery for Merkel Cell Carcinoma and had undergone treatment with radiation I was diagnosed with four skin cancers on my legs and arms. I have been a skin cancer patient for 40 years. I underwent Mohs on a basal cell on my shin and returned again for a squamous cell on my inner knee. We have six cousins with melanoma cancer. I return every three months to be checked.
