Side effects of Aldara/Imiquimod for skin cancer

Hi everyone, I have a large patch of basal cell carcinoma on my back that is too big for surgery. My dermatologist has recommended either Aldara cream or superficial radiotherapy.

I am somewhat concerned using Aldara, since I've heard from a couple of people that it makes them feel low or get brain fog. Does anyone have experience of using Aldara? Have you had any problems with it? I would love to get some stories before I make my decision.

Many thanks!
