I had a skin cancer that was treated by a different method, should I have had Mohs surgery?

Not necessarily. There is almost never one single appropriate way of dealing with a skin cancer. There are many factors that influence this decision (the size, shape, location, prior treatment, and demarcation of the skin cancer, the age and health of the patient, among other considerations). Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate of any form of treatment, but in certain circumstances, other methods of treatment are very appropriate, and sometimes preferable.
