Question: I have had XXXXXXX and squamous skin cancer. Many in areas I have had psoriasis. I had mohs surgery because they thought it was XXXXXXX but as the surgeon got into the surgery she saw it was squamous cell carcinoma and there was a tumor there that was just to difficult for her to finish. Evidently the tumor was calcified and needed an onocological surgeon to finish. The surgeon assured me he got the whole cancer but the original mohs surgeon was so concerned about the difficulty of the surgery she arranged for me to get free radiation therapy. I thought it was a wonderful service but in the back of my mind I han that feeling my mother used to say to me you get what you pay for.
They were very nice but since the surgery was so extensive I lost my left eyebrow and my eye would not close so I had to use systane type eye ointment every night. (Just to let u know how extensive the surgery was. they had a metal plate that they put into my eye to protect it during radiation therapy. I began getting eye infections and had to roll back sessions, then after barely a month the tech scratched my cornea with the metal plate. It was affecting my eye sight and between my surgeon and my children, and being a Dr's ex- wife, I decided to discontinue the radiation therapy. That was over 2 years.ago. I have had to have many more skin surgeries and recently I have notice more headaches (migraines) discoloration in the area that was operated on and it seems to be getting larger ,more sensitive, and some of the areas resemble moles and other ares look brusied. I also get many more eye infections. The oncologist told me if it comes back it will head straight behind the eye and into the brain and at this point it is lightd out. Any suggestions?

The metal plate was. just inserted into eye every session to protect the eye from radiation. I was not sure if I made myself clear.
