almost done, only 3 treatments left (22) total). nose is a little sore, and nose is very dry, (i use a lot of moisturizer) and occasional blood when blowing nose. But if this is only problem I have, I would still go with radiation, but only because of location (on nose) biggest problem is nose is very dry and inconvenience of 22 treatments ( 5 days a week, treatment is only about 2 minutes each time I go in) But it looks like there will be no scarring or no major plastic surgery. If I had to go thru this again (both surgery and radiation is about 98% cure) because the bcc is on the face, I would talk to a surgeon and a radiologist to get both opinions.
