Bill's Choices

Three options that Bill can choose from are:
1. Surgery, which would consist of cryosurgery, electrodessication and curettage, grafting, laser therapy, Mohs micrographic surgery, or simple excision. It would basically just surgically remove cancer cells from the body.
2. Radiation therapy would use x-rays to make tumors smaller and kill the cancer cells.
3. Photodynamic therapy would combine the use of drugs and lasers in order to kill the cancer cells in the body.

If I were Bill I would either choose surgery or radiation therapy, but most likely radiation therapy. This would be best since his cancer hasnt spread to multiple areas of the body yet. Plus, he would most likely want to make sure that the cancer wasn't going to come back, and radiation therapy would prevent this since it kills the cancer cells in the body.

I would use radiation therapy, too. I'd use it as an additional component after surgery, though. I think it would work better as a safety precaution. The surgery would do better at ensuring that the cancer is physically gone.

Kim, I agree with what you are saying, but I would first use surgery to be 100% sure that all of the cancerous cells were removed from the body. I would then use radiation therapy to re-ensure that BIll's cancerous cells would not pop up again.
