WHAT SHOULD BILL DO?

Bill has many options in treating his Melanoma.

~ SURGERY~

Cyrosurgery- freezing the tumor which kills cancerous cells.
Grafting- remove cancerous skin and replace with a graft of new skin.
Laser Therapy- using a beam of light to remove cancerous cells.

~RADIATION THERAPY~
Uses radiation machine the emits x-rays
to shrink and kill tumors and cells.

~CHEMOTHERAPY~ (treatment using drugs)

Topical Chemotherapy- cream or lotion that kills cells
Systemic Therapy- treatmeant with a pill or a needle injection to a vein or muscle.



I think Bill's best choice would be Cyrosurgery and to freeze the cancerous cells. This sounds easier and less painful also alot more effective.

I agree with the option that was chosen because Bill needs to have his cancerous tumor treated in the easiest way possible for the stage he is in.

I agree with the option of cyrosurgery because it would freeze the tumor and also kill the cancerous cells.

I don't believe this is the correct way to go about getting rid of Bill's cancer. That option is not always 100% and when going at something this serious it is important to use something with the greatest chance of success.
