The two new lesions: one on the left side and the second one on the
right side of my nose, which I described in my November 20 email with a
photo attachment, got much bigger by expanding down on both sides of my
nose. One of them even partially covered the tip of the nose. All that
lasted until mid of January 2008. Since then the lesions have been
getting smaller and finally, around mid February, there were only 4
small leftovers (appr. 2-3 mm in diameter): one on the left side, one
on the right side and 2 on the tip of the nose (please see the attached
photo). Please note all the new skin on my nose. However, what worries
me is that in spite of the regular treatments (3 times a day) with
Curaderm these last remaining small lesions don't want to close. Is
there any explanation for this? Does the healing process seem somehow
too long and atypical? Could the long healing time be perhaps
attributed to weak potency of the Curaderm I've been u sing?<

Many thanks for your concern,
Comment:
You have been on
treatment now for just over three months. Most single small lesions
would have been healed by now but yours were relatively large so they
will take longer to heal. The fact that the lesions have not closed
over means that there are still some cancer cells around and there may
still be a little discharge. I am sorry it is taking so long but I
suggest that we continue with treatment for we do not want to leave
cancer cells behind.
