                    Thanx to everyone for your responses to my previous msg. on 10/9!  I'm taking them all into consideration.  I'm 'still on the fence' as to what to do about my skin cancer.  I had already started the cream before receiving your responses.  I agree that surgery was/is prob. the way to go since it's almost 100% eff.  However, I still would like to hear from someone who has had skin cancer & has used the fluor-cream.  Currently, I apply the cream every a.m. and am supposed to continue this until the area is very painful.  Then, I see the dermatologist, & she will tell me if it's time to stop the cream.  Then, supposedly the skin cancer will clear up over a period of time.  I can still opt for surgery at any time.  I'm just so unsure about opting for surgery now since I've already used the cream long enough that I'm feeling a little pain, so it shouldn't be long before I can stop using it.  Confused?  I sure am!  Anyway, again I appreciate all of your responses, & as always, anymore responses are welcome!  Thanx, Geral
