[|Human|] Hi, I have a basal cell carcinoma on my right upper ear. The dermatologist did not say that this tumor was invading the cartilege yet. I went to see a surgeon this past tuesday 10/28/14 and he gave me 3 options. Chemo for 5 weeks, radiation 3x week for an unspecified amount of time, or surgery. I have BP that spikes to over 300/190+. I chose radiation;but, I m not sure if I made the correct choice. Can you give me an overall information on this type of treatment? Does it hurt? Does it take a long time to work? Does it make the patient sick like chemo? Thank you for taking time to answer my qustion. YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have basal cell carcinoma. Treatment of choice depends on stage of tumor.  Radiotherapy is useful but it's also causing sickness like chemotherapy.  Surgery should be done then if needed go for radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
