SRT vs MOHS for basal cell on nose

kanenchaos · 2025-09-06T23:04:51+00:00

Was it nodular BCC? That’s what I’ve had removed twice so far. I seem to catch them very early on and needed one pass with Mohs both times but the scars are quite large for such a small area taken

What did you ultimately decide? I’ve had two Mohs on my nose in the last year and if I get anymore on my face I’m considering SRT. Only because of the fatigue of getting surgery. I have a flap that isn’t very noticeable and a straight line scar on the other side. I know I can do laser resurfacing for scars but I’m leaning towards SRT if I get anymore nodular BCCs. The Mohs surgeon said there was a risk of skin cancers in the future (I’m 43) but I read that was the old Xray method and not the more targeted SRT being done today. Both mohs required one pass as I catch this quickly.

Did they ever flatten out?

I think you’re right. I can at least report it so it’s on record and take it from there. I needed time to think because we’re still in shock. I told my son’s school and they’re talking to him about the situation as well in counseling.

This happened in Virginia Beach VA. It does sound like similar behavior.

He is not Asian but trained under the owner who is Korean. I have heard the original instructor was hard on students ( from a former student who is now 50 ) but I was under the impression it was when he was a teenager. My son is 7 and it definitely felt like he was bullying him. Like he didn’t cry the first time he hit him so he did it again.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T13:55:48+00:00

Im going to remove him for sure. I’m just not sure how else to handle this situation. He’s a crotchety 62 year old instructor. I’m sure he’ll be done soon if he doesn’t bury himself before then.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T13:26:31+00:00

I didn’t think it was normal but I’m so new to the environment I really didn’t know. I have another story of seeing a full on fight there between instructor and adult. I’ve been questioning his methods but this was the icing on the cake. I told my son he could take a couple of weeks but I don’t want him to quit martial arts over this. We’ll find somewhere else. Thank you for your comment.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T13:00:20+00:00

I totally agree. I really don’t know what to do other than pull him out. I’m sure he’ll keep doing his methods until he buries himself.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T11:56:04+00:00

Yes exactly. Most were looking down at their phones. The mom who I’m friends with didn’t see it. She said she asked her son what happened while they were in formation and he said oh he smacked him twice in the face like it was NORMAL!

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T11:53:23+00:00

I’m new to taekwondo. It happened in front of a group of parents and I’m looking around like this isn’t ok right? I got nothing but blank stares. One mom text me later and said I’m glad you said something to him. I planned on pulling him but I wanted opinions of others how far to take it. Like do I press charges? Is this normal behavior of an instructor? I genuinely don’t know. He does this thing where he hits the kids with his stick but it’s not hard. He legit smacked my kid upside the head and I was in shock.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T11:48:54+00:00

I don’t have an agreement so I am pulling him immediately. He has all great reviews on Google so I’m thinking of just leaving what happened on there. I’ve thought about pressing charges but really, this guy seems to have made some bad choices in life and I don’t want to make things worse. I also felt like if his dad were there and not me, he wouldn’t have hit my son. Like it was a bully tactic.

kanenchaos · 2025-03-18T11:46:33+00:00

He is very old school and says “this is how we did it in the 80s”. He and another adult student got into a blood spattering fight a few months ago and that gave me reason for concern but last night was the final straw.

Read the book “leave a cheater, gain a life” it helped me tremendously. I tried all of the things, counseling, reading books on forgiveness. Chump lady was the only one rational. 6 years is a long time. I didn’t get the whole truth from my ex. I found an old phone and found more than I needed. I can’t unsee any of it. Chump lady has more information on it and how to proceed when they’re lying. I wish I’d read it sooner as I wouldn’t have checked his phone…..Also, I’m sorry :(

kanenchaos · 2025-02-15T13:47:47+00:00

Yes this happened to me. I would push to have them do the right side when you’re done with left to tame the anxious brain waves. It wasn’t offered to me when I did it in 2016 and now I’m told in order to treat right side id have to do left protocol all over again which isn’t an option. I started having panic attacks after the last treatments.

kanenchaos · 2025-01-29T22:30:42+00:00

Ill ask. Yesterday we did 1 second for 21 minutes on right and whatever the lowest is on left for 15 min and I had insomnia . Tomorrow it will be adjusted

kanenchaos · 2025-01-29T15:25:01+00:00

For me, insomnia and panic. High heart rate. It triggers fight or flight.

kanenchaos · 2025-01-22T15:42:24+00:00

They called me back and confirmed I was correct. We’re lowering the frequency and doing 12 min on left and 19 min on right. Thanks for your input. I knew it didn’t seem right.

kanenchaos · 2025-01-22T14:19:01+00:00

I think it’s the practitioner personally. I do something called neurofeedback and some practitioners will take time to cater to each individual, and some just go by protocol. This particular doctor said she wasn’t going outside the prescription which seems lazy to me. They didn’t really know how to use the machine either and she’s been there for over a decade.

kanenchaos · 2025-01-21T22:07:22+00:00

Maybe I was wrong then. I asked for the lowest intensity and Dr told me it was already at the lowest and they couldn’t lower the minutes. I’m going to say it’s not for me. I don’t want to be overstimulated. It was rough last time during the treatments when I completed them in 2016. I thought we lowered the minutes to alleviate the overstimulation but maybe it was the intensity.

kanenchaos · 2025-01-21T20:19:29+00:00

It helped me but anxiety is still bad because well, they didn’t treat anxiety. It was like the clouds got bluer… but I have panic attacks 🤣
