Hi,
I am new to the board and I am supposed to start Efudex on Oct. 15 all over my arms and legs. I have had two BCC removed one from above my eyebrow and one on my shoulder. I have AK's all over my legs especially the lower legs and a few on my upper thighs and some on my arms. Dr. wants me to do treatment for 3 wks all over my arms and legs to get any precancer that is not visible yet. I have tried Levulan and laser but it has not helped except to make them a little lighter. It is tow different Dr's one has the laster and lvulan treatment facility and one does not. Both have agreed Dfudex if this treatment did not work and it only works on those you can actually see anyway. They did say doing the levulan should make the Efudex more bearable.
I am dreading it after reading these postings. I am also supposed to go on vacation Dec. 1st to Colorado for a week and I am thinking of postponing my treatment till I get back. I want ot enjoy my vacation and not be misreable.
I have to work as well everyday and wonder what type of clothing is best to wear? Anyone reading this please feel free to reply, I am anxious and not looking forward to it and it the Dr. extends my treatment after 3 weeks I know I will probably not enjoy my vacation. I have read that after treatment and it has healed you have beautiful skin?
Thanks for everyone's input and this board it is a wealth of infomation. God Bless! - Tanya
