shyslyguy:
That's good Max.
Sounds like a lot less hassle than traditional chemo. Glad that you've had no serious side effects & that it's not painful ...
Good luck for next week. O0
Good luck to you too MLNHD O0

Max, it's good to hear the treatment is going well for you and you're not feeling any discomfort or side effects. Hang in there.
MLNHD, best of luck with you're treatment and keep us posted too. O0
MLNHD:
Max, glad to hear you're about to wind up your treatment, and that you're doing well. My story is similar to yours, but my AKs are more on the forehead. Credit the reckless abandon of my foolish youthful overindulgence in unprotected exposure to the sun. Ahhh, those were the days -- a great tan and a part in my hair, too. Fast-forward to now -- and the piper is being paid -- with AKs my dermatologist has been freezing off over the years. Her treatment of choice is Aldara, a topical cream that kills off the precancerous cells. My regimen is similar to yours, Max, except that after 5 applications I take off two days. I'm into day #3. No change yet, other than a couple AKs are a bit redder than before. There's no burn, no itch or sting. I'm grateful my area of application does not include my pate, as after 2 months of sly I'm completely addicted to smooth. I'll post occasional updates.
Thanks to the kind words and well-wishes many of you have posted.
Best Wishes,
MLNHD

I haven't been able to shave in a week and it's killing me. I can't believe how fast it grows.
Good luck with your treatment.
