Three types of treatment
Chemotherapy- Using drugs to kill cancer cells
Radiation therapy- using radiation to kill cancerous cells and shrink tumors
surgery- removing tumor from body
Bill should have the tumor removed through surgery. He is still in the early stages of melanoma, so the tumor is local to one area still, and it is easier to catch before it spreads. Also because it has not spread they can remove it all at one time, without suing strong drugs or the harmful effects of radiation.

I agree with this. Bill should have the tumor removed through surgery since he is in the early stages.
after looking at this... maybe he should just have it surgically removed. But if Bill were in a more developing stage of his cancer then yes, he should use chemotheropy. but he is still in the early stages and he should just have it surgically removed.
I agree too, as I said its will remove the melanoma before it spreads in the body.
I agree because thats what makes sense. He should remove the tumor in his earlier stages before it spreads and gets worse.
